But the headteacher of Our Lady and St Chad's Catholic Sports College says they were put up to stop vandalism and are not switched on.

The cameras have been put up in all four toilet blocks used by pupils at the school in Old Fallings Lane, Wolverhampton.

The school informed parents by sending a newsletter home with students.

But some furious parents have criticised the move as an invasion of privacy, whilst others are demanding to know why they were not notified before the cameras were installed.

The cameras, which are located in male and female toilets in both the science block and the main building, are situated high up on walls looking down over the facilities.
