Parents' fury over gender-neutral school reports: Teachers at East Sussex co-
educational accused of 'wokery' and 'virtue signalling' after dropping 'he' and
'she' from student feedback forms and referring to 11 to 16 year olds as 'they'

Jon Curtis-Brignell headteacher of the school in Lewes, East Sussex, has
insisted staff ‘do not have a gender-neutral communication policy'
Parents are outraged after a leading secondary school sent out gender-
neutral school reports for all children without consultation.
Mothers and fathers were baffled when their children’s grades arrived from
co-educational school Priory School with all personal pronouns changed.
The reports on the 11- to 16-year-olds also contained grammatical howlers
while any mention of ‘he’ or ‘she’ was dropped.
Shocking sentences included a religious studies class report where a boy’s
parents were told of their son: ‘They needs to be able to explain different
religious views on life after death.’
In another line, a pupil was told: ‘It would be even better if they took more
care with Spelling Punctuation and Grammar.’
But it is not the first time apparent wokery has upset pupils and parents at
the school, which boasts high-profile alumni including broadcaster Piers
Morgan.
There were protests at the gates in 2019 when then headteacher Tony Smith
banned girls from wearing skirts as part of a gender-neutral uniform rule.
