Angie Richards says the last thing she needs is for her daughter to catch a cold or virus
A mum has blasted her daughter’s school because they held a PE lesson outside in the rain.
Angie Richards, from Atherstone, said her 12-year-old daughter came home from The Queen Elizabeth Academy (TQEA) with a wet PE kit and told her she had been out in the cold for an hour.
After two years of fighting breast cancer, Mrs Richards has a weak immune system and fears that if her children, Zoe, 12, and Harry, 14, are exposed to the cold, it could result in her catching another illness.
She said: “I have just gone through two years of fighting cancer, the last thing I need is bugs in the house.
“They shouldn’t have to go out in that weather. Luckily she is fine, she isn’t ill, but I had to completely dry her off.”
When Mrs Richards contacted the school she was told that pupils could wear other kit during PE lessons including rain coats, gloves, leggings and base layer tops.
Mrs Richards added: “They are saying you can buy coats but they have already got everything else.
"At the end of the day the uniform is expensive as it is, I’m not going to buy them coats that are going to be worn once a month. It’s ridiculous.
“She has got the outdoor PE kits and she was soaking, she was just dripping wet.
"They shouldn’t be out there. They shouldn’t be sent out in the pouring rain.”
