'I'm furious - our school's making my kids skip lessons to watch the World Cup'
However, Ormiston Sir Stanley Matthews Academy has defended its decision, saying that half the class would likely have skipped school anyway if the game wasn't being show.A spokesperson the academy said: "Like many schools across the country, we have taken the decision to air England’s opening match, as part of this global sporting event.
"All other matches that England could qualify for will take place outside of academy hours, and so this is a one-off event, with minor adjustments to lesson timetables. "Many of our students are avid football fans and are keen to show their support to the national team during this pinnacle moment. "We also wanted to minimise any chance of absences that may have occurred had we chosen not to air the match."
They added: "We informed all parents and carers of our decision last week, and lessons will be taking place as usual for students whose parents have expressed that preference."
