A was a parent of a child. The school complained of A’s behaviour when visiting the school, and was refused a licence to enter the premises without being accompanied. The behaviour continued, and an injunction was obtained.
Held: The order was discharged on appeal because it could not be shown that the headmaster had taken steps to obtain the parent’s side of the situation before acting. There is a public interest both in securing a parent’s access and in protecting the school and its teachers. Buxton LJ: ‘It is, however, clear that Miss A, and other parents, had some sort of licence to enter the school, by reason of its being the practice to permit them to do so.’ and the question was that if there was permission to enter the school as a parent, that was relevant to what procedures were immediately adopted before it could be withdrawn.
