Hi, there's a thing I never thought and asked about during school tours - do all secondary schools close toilets and/or forbid to use them during lessons?
I examined school rules for a few schools in Kingston and haven't find anything about it.

Could you please share if it's a thing for Turing House, Orleans Park, Grey Court and The Kingston Academy?

At OP they just have one set of loos open during lessons (the stinky gender neutral ones). Seems to be at teacher discretion whether you can go during lessons but they are generally sensible about it, especially if you have a reason. A few years ago girls had something on their lanyard they could flash if they needed to leave for period reasons; haven’t noticed that on DD’s lanyard for a while so not sure if that system is still in place (seems a bit indiscreet, not sure how it worked in practice??!).
