TikTok protests continue all over Britain’s schools as hundreds of pupils rebell against teachers over school rules

Protests have erupted in several schools across Britain over the past week, with pupils taking a stand against school rules, including new unisex toilets.

Videos of these protests have been posted on popular social media platforms like TikTok and Snapchat, attracting millions of views and sparking concerns that the trend is spreading across the nation.

Last week, protests were staged at schools in Cornwall, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, and Essex, with videos of children rebelling against uniform and toilet policies circulating online.

In one video, students at Shenfield High School in Essex were seen trampling on exercise books on the floor and overturning chairs in a school hall. It is not clear what sparked the protest, and the school has not yet commented on the matter.

Meanwhile, at Weston Secondary School in Southampton, 200 pupils staged protests yesterday over the new unisex toilets, which have left them feeling ‘uncomfortable’.

The students also took a stand against rules preventing them from leaving lessons to go to the toilet. According to some female pupils, they have to wait ‘up to two hours’ for a break or lunchtime to use the toilet, which is unfair.

One parent said their daughter felt so uneasy about sharing a toilet with boys that she has stopped going to the toilet during school hours.

In Blackpool, a school denied claims of a riot after students launched a ‘mass rebellion’ over basic school rules. The protest was planned on TikTok, and teachers claim it was sparked by the social media trend.

The headteacher of Unity Academy Blackpool said he became aware of the trend last week, which has since built momentum over the weekend. He said that many of the concerns raised by the students relate to basic school rules that have been in place at the school for many years.

The new trend has prompted the Department for Education to release a statement, saying it was ‘concerned’ by the spate of school protests. A spokesperson for the department said they will be in touch with all schools and local authorities to ensure they are supported at this time.

They also added that they will always back headteachers to take the action required to maintain calm and supportive classroom environments.

MailOnline has contacted Shenfield High School, Weston Secondary School, and Unity Academy for comment.
