‘Archbishop Sentamu Academy has apologised after children were asked to define different types of pornography.
A Hull mum is “fuming” over her 11-year-old daughter’s school work which asked children to define hardcore pornography – among other “inappropriate” topics.
Children in Years 7, 8 and 9 at Archbishop Sentamu Academy in east Hull were set the work in their Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) class as part of their home learning.
Teachers have asked the 11 to 14-year-olds to “define” pornography, soft pornography, hardcore pornography and transsexual pornography, as well as female genital mutilation, wet dreams, trafficking, male circumcision, breast ironing and more.
They were also asked questions about alcohol, drugs and smoking.
Following complaints from parents, the academy has now apologised for any offence caused.
Mrs Taylor, a mum of three from east Hull said if her daughter had searched these phrases online in order to define them, the results would have “destroyed her mind” and “scarred her for life”.
Luckily the mum of children aged seven, 11 and 16 was warned about the work in a Facebook post by another parent before her daughter began working on it.
The 34-year-old said: “My daughter is still very much a child, we’ve still got magic elves, her bedroom is done in My Little Pony. She is very innocent and naive.’
