Copy the Secretary of State for Education, Nadhim Zahawi on nadhim.zahawi.mp@parliament.uk ."
Even if you have single sex exemptions if you want your child's school to hang on to them it might be worth writing - explaining why your child would be reluctant to use the toilets otherwise.
I think, if it applies to anyone, that if when viewing schools as a prospective parent if you ruled a school out because it had single sex toilets, and if that limited your options significantly locally when picking a school that would also be worth mentioning.
Have you been doing university open days with your kids? Noticed the toilets? I'd mention that too.
Done. I’m a teacher. Hopefully they don’t release my name but 🤷🏽♀️ if they do I’ll stand by my words.
