Hmm! As a teacher I am rather surprised that the school allowed the situation to develop in this way.It is my experience that usually the school will bend over backwards to ensure that parents are informed because parents are regarded as an integral part of the relationship a student has with the school.It would be different IF the student concerned was in care but I gather that the there were no problems flagged with the local social services.

In fact if this had happened to me I would be just as incandescent about it.Not because I think I have the right to be consulted but because I would be the one to have to deal with the mental aftermath that an abortion will bring to the child concerned.It's very regrettable that this has occurred because schools and parents are so often mistrustful of each other.This can do nothing to help.

Incog.
