Update re Sparklebox product in son's primary school

Further to yesterday's blog, which you can see if you scroll down, this morning I approached the school secretary about the Sparklebox product I had seen in the school.  She thought it had all been removed and went off to take it down immediately!

I am pleased to report that she appeared as angy as I was that it was still up.  The school no longer uses this company.

I hope this has enlightened people as to this company, which is still trading!

Thanks for all your support!

School using resources from Sparklebox, owned by a convicted Paedophile!

As a childminder I was advised about the company Sparklebox a long time ago!  The company provides all sorts of resources for schools, and whilst the quality of the product is good, I have issues with the owner being jailed twice, convicted of downloading pornographic images of children.

I went into our school recently as the little ones needed the toilet, and as I was reading the posters about handwashing, I noticed that they were in fact Sparklebox merchandise!

I am horrified and will be writing to the Headmaster.  As I say I have no issue with the quality of the posters, but do not wish to fund this dispicable man's lifestyle!

I would be interested to hear if you think I am over-reacting!

The following explains more!
