Huddersfield: tree supplants the cross

A Church of England primary school in Huddersfield has left parents angry and confused after removing the cross on its school badge, it was reported in late June.

The cross, part of a pupil’s winning entry in a competition to design the new badge, was dropped following alleged complaints. It was claimed the badge was a temporary one, however headteacher David Bendall had been pictured in front of the cross logo and some school uniforms had also been made with it.

Muslim friends okay with it

Parents were outraged, with one saying she had spoken to Muslim friends at the school who said they were not upset about the cross logo.
