“I can't see any particularly good reason for introducing the ban on parents wearing the veil.”
I can. Never mind the safety aspect (though it is valid). Having people walking around masked up, especially in a school, makes many of those around them extremely uneasy. In a school it may actually frighten the children (as well as the horses). As a man I find the Muslim habit of women concealing their faces (and the rest of their bodies) particularly offensive. It is done, as I understand it, because the women cannot trust men to control themselves should they display their hair or their shoulders. I find it insulting that it is deemed that I might behave like an animal if I see a glimpse of a female face. There is no place in the UK for this ridiculous nonsense. It is divisive and leads to isolation apart from being offensive. It should have been properly addressed as soon as it presented itself some years ago. There are plenty of places in the world where women can walk around looking absurd (as this makes them) and in some places it is mandatory. The UK should not be one of them.

I am with Gromit and others on this. What she chooses to wear is up to her, but if the school rules say she shouldn't wear a full face veil, then she should comply.
By the way, the issue of whether this is a "Socialist Eton" is entirely of the DMs own making....its completely irrelevant to this case.

You sure about that Mikey?

A number of high-profile socialists sent their children to Holland Park School, and it became known as "the socialist Eton".
It shouldn't be subject to litigation now.
It's simple the way I see it, the policy was not made clear on her arrival but was made clear by the time she left, whether handled correctly or not I can't comment.
The lady now has the choice of whether to continue her long relationship with the school or not.
