Students at a school in the UK are being told they must hold their hands behind their back when walking in the school grounds, in a bizarre new rule being labelled as draconian.

At Market Harborough Church of England Academy, in Leicestershire, pupils have to clasp their hands behind their back and remain calm when walking to avoid accidents in the schoolyard.

In a letter to parents from headteacher Emma Taylor, she explained that while some parents have raised concerns, the rule had been introduced to help keep kids safe, after some students had been injured or knocked over by racing children.

"As part of our commitment to providing a safe and orderly environment, we have recently introduced the practice of children gently placing their hands behind their backs as they move round school in large groups, or when they enter the building at lunchtimes," she wrote.
