The Head Teachers Union has appealed to parents to go home and enjoy the rest of the summer holidays after it emerged several schools have been forced to chase parents from loitering around school gates to see if there’s any movement inside.

St Feichin’s School in Moygashel had to call the police after twenty parents scaled the wire fence and started banging on the principal’s window as she prepared for the coming academic year.

Union leader Mrs Joy Duster appealed:

“Please, please go home. There’s still the guts of a month yet and the children will not be getting in until their given starting date. We understand the weather hasn’t been great but with the Olympics on and a new series of Stranger Things coming out, it shouldn’t be too hard to keep the children entertained for another four weeks.”

One parent, who wished to remain anonymous, added

“For the love of God, take them back early. We’ll even pay the voluntary contribution thing that no one pays. I can’t listen to the Fortnite music any more. And the Taylor |Swift album can do one too. And they keep eating the bread.”

Mary (44), from the Moy, went on to say that some teachers are roaming the village from pub to pub, rubbing it in.
