A mother-of-three whose daughter with complex needs was omitted from a class photo said it was 'mindless and cruel' after hearing the same thing had happened at another school.

Haley Woodward, 38, from Walkington, East Yorkshire, said her feelings of anger and disappointment returned after it emerged parents at a school in Aberdeen had been offered the choice to purchase class photos with or without children with complex needs in them. The parents of children at Aboyne Primary School received a link from photography firm Tempest Photography which offered alternative photos.

Ms Woodward said she empathises with the parents of Aboyne Primary, adding: 'When everything's a battle and you're fighting for everything for , it's just another thing and it shouldn't have happened. It just feels really mindless and cruel.' Ms Woodward said she does not know why her daughter was omitted from one of the class photos.
