Overview
- Acting headteacher Lloyd Allington wrote to parents asking that children not sing songs from the Netflix film during school time, citing the school's faith-based ethos.
- An updated message acknowledged parents’ feedback about positive themes such as teamwork and kindness yet confirmed the request remains in place.
- The school clarified it is not telling families the film or its music is wrong and that what children enjoy at home is a parental choice.
- Some parents objected to the move, with one father telling the BBC the decision felt like an unfair imposition on children who enjoy K‑pop.
- KPop Demon Hunters is reported as Netflix’s most‑viewed movie with 236 million streams, and its hit song Golden features in children’s activities, including after‑school performances.
