This year's school play is Oliver Twist.
Dd (Year 6) has been told by the deputy head that girls can't audition for the boys parts because the Year 8 boys will get those as it's their last year at the school and they shouldn't be "disappointed". Years 7 and 8 are boys only at dd's school.
Dd is pretty hacked off about this as she really wanted to try out for the Artful Dodger and now she can't. It's her last year too before she goes off to secondary school.
I've emailed the deputy head to ask why he's done this but I've had no response.
Aibu to think this is really unfair on the girls and other brilliant actors at the school who happen not to be boys and in Year 8?
