Boys' toilet doors are removed at school leaving pupils feeling 'uncomfortable'

High school pupils have raised concerns over their privacy after the doors from the boys' toilets were removed.

After concerns over "anti-social behaviour", the leadership team at Range High School in Formby decided to make the change.

Despite this, no changes have been made to the girls' toilets.

A year 11 pupil told the Liverpool Echo: "People don't feel comfortable using the toilets.

"There are cubicles, but the urinals are behind a screen and you can see into the room and hear people using the toilets.

"It's just created tension in the school. It happened to me yesterday, I was using the toilet and there were some girls outside, and as I was coming out they shouted 'we can hear you'.

"It's not a comfortable experience

"I don't understand why. You will get a different answer depending on who you ask. One said because of anti-social behaviour, another said to improve ventilation".

Tom Dolly, deputy headteacher at Range High School, said: "Following some anti-social behaviour in certain boys' toilets, the school has refurbished and upgraded some of the facilities as part of an ongoing improvement agenda and as requested by the school student council".

"No one's privacy is compromised in any way following the installation of new privacy panelling in the two toilets where doors have been removed.

"There are also many other toilets across the school for students to access."
