Thanks Suzi, will recheck
Link working now.
Oh look, yet again! - 'I'm furious . This is just a silly application of of rules and it's political correctness for the sake of it."
And yet another good example of crap journalism -
"After school Olivia and her friends defied the ban and finally tucked in to the cake following a birthday outing to the local bowling alley."
So, the kids were 'banned' from eating birthday cakes anywhere in the world, I presume?

Thanks, Pinky!
It's ridiculous! I bet Jamie Oliver lets his kids have a slice of cake now and again.

How stupid, a bit of cake here and there won't do no harm as long as they are eating healthy foods. Jamie Oliver is to blame, school dinners were ok when he started his campaign but most kids ignored him and went to the chippie or shop when they was allowed out of the gates.
lol, stupid school. i understand the need for healthy eatng but denyingkids a special treat (like a birthday cake...you know...once a year) is stooopid. my son's old school used to allow us to bring sweets or funsize packets of chocolate for birthdays. they got given it on the way out at the end of the day though...so the parents got sugar hyped up kiddies instead of their litte angels

Definitely Health and Fitness Gone Mad, I'd say.
I don't think it's so bad, it's only a cake! The girl did get to share it anyway after the bowling trip.
The school cannot be certain what is in the cake and could be held responsible if any kids were ill. Some people's hygiene standards may leave a lot to be desired.
Also imo the bringing in of cakes can be upsetting for other kids who know their parents/carers are not in a position to reciprocate.

Hmmmmm... none of us ever brought our birthday cakes to school when I was in the juniors - we scoffed them at home where we wouldn't have to share them with any kids who weren't our mates.
It seems stupid, but it's not a "once a year" thing - imagine how many cakes there'd be knocking around the school if every kid brought one in on their birthday. It'd be cake, cake, cake every day. ~slurp~

You are shy?Or, you edited your post and, for some reason, it then goes tiny!
sorry had to run to the shop! I don't know why it was so small i didn't edit but i did quote two quotes so maybe i messed it up!
I just wanted to say that i agree with what both Demantoid and LowonIQ said. I don't agree with kids taking in cake to school, whats wrong with just a few sweets for the class, thats what my kids did. Its all too much like keeping up/bettering each other and too many kids are left out! imo of course!

I agree with the Head: 'We also take into account children who have allergies and the pressure that some parents feel they are under to provide such treats if others in the class are doing so.'
