Toilet during lesson time

iloveteaching · 2017-05-21 10:17:43

As a new year 5 teacher I'm currently teaching a very difficult class. They use needing the toilet as an excuse to avoid work and I tend to sometimes have as many as 5 wanting to go one after the other. Am I allowed to deny a child the toilet? Or do they have rights to go to the toilet during lessons when they ask? Is there anything legally saying I cannot refuse? Do other KS2 teachers say no? or do you always allow them?
