Dorset academy bans bathroom mirrors to curb student congestion and delays
Wey Valley Academy in Weymouth, Dorset, has removed mirrors from its toilet facilities. The decision follows concerns over congestion, delays, and student behavior in these areas. School leaders claim the change has already improved the environment.
Headteacher Steven Dyer explained that overcrowding and discomfort near the mirrors led to their removal. He noted that students were spending too much time in front of them, causing delays for others. The academy's main goal remains ensuring a safe and orderly space for all pupils.
Some parents have criticized the move, arguing that mirrors play a key role in students' well-being. One pointed out that a pupil had to remove a piercing without a mirror, raising safety concerns. Another suggested that mirrors help students check for health issues, such as eye problems.
Despite the backlash, the academy maintains that the decision has already had a positive effect. Staff report fewer disruptions and a smoother flow in the toilet areas since the mirrors were taken down.
The removal of mirrors at Wey Valley Academy aims to reduce congestion and improve behavior. While some parents question the change, the academy insists it has already made a difference. The focus remains on creating a better experience for students during break times.
