Is the school being unreasonable to leave my ds out because he lost his ticket?

Ds is 5 in reception. The school did a father christmas today, people dressed as elves came to the classroom to take the children to see father christmas who had come to see them in school and give them a small present. We paid for the tickets £2.
Ds lost his ticket today althoguh they did take a name list when we bought the ticket so they did know we had paid. So when it came to go all the other chikdren went and they kept my ds behind in he classroom so he didnt get to gi and didnt get his present, he still very much believes in father christmas and he was pretty upset about it - luckily when dh heard he suddenly found that father christmas had been to the house and left a present there (luckily i have shopped and wrapped already!). So ds is a little consoled but aibu to think thats a pretty shitty thing to do on behalf of he school. Yes he lost his ticket - but he is only in reception im sure they could have checked the list.

What a disgusting way to treat your son and the little girl.

Do these people not know the true meaning of Christmas??

I would not stop complaining until I had an assurance it would never happen again to another child, Write to the Governors if you are not happy with the schools way of dealing with it

I can't read all of this thread - I'm too angry and upset. Is the whole Christmas thing a business transaction for these twats teachers then? Don't they see that, to tiny children, a dressed up FC is FC, and if they don't get a present from him when everyone else does, they've been overlooked by the man himself?!
Must be about the worst thing that can happen to a little one at this time of year. Hate to say this, but it's the sort of thing the DM would love, and whoever was responsible for this deserves to be publicly pilloried.
