Surveys show 10 per cent of school staff were threatened or abused on social media last year.
One of England’s biggest academy trusts has pledged to ban social media trolls from school grounds under a new “code of conduct” for parents.
Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust wants to outlaw threatening messages to staff and “defamatory” posts about its schools.
Under the rules – which will come into force across the north east trust’s 47 sites next week – parents will also be told not to wear “sexually provocative” clothing or pyjamas at pick-up and drop-off.
