Bloke's Night will go on!
I refer to the following article where a dads night was stopped because a single mum was incensed she was not allowed to attend.

This to me seems incredibly sad as we have always allowed boys from single parents to invite a significant male in their life. This is often a grandfather, uncle or friend. These people are equally important in boys lives.
Someone asked whether we would stop having "Blokes Night" when we have girls next year? My answer is of course not! Surely girls should have significant male role models in their lives as well? One of the benefits of Huntley is the fact that we have a large number of male role models and this is something that will continue well into the future. Girls and boys will benefit from our largely male staff next year.
