Tormead School in Guildford, Surrey, has been granted an alcohol licence for its newly refurbished sports facility, the Urnfield Pavilion, allowing parents to drink while watching sports games. The Daily Mail reports that the move has led to local protests, with residents raising concerns about public order and the possibility of issues if parents drink alcohol during events. The reporting frames the licence decision as taking place despite opposition from nearby residents. The school is described as a private girls’ school with fees of about £25,000 a year. The articles indicate that the licence was approved for use at the sports venue, rather than for general school premises, and that it is tied specifically to spectators during sporting fixtures. Overall, the coverage focuses on the licensing outcome and the dispute between the school’s plans for the refurbished facility and local residents’ concerns about alcohol-related behaviour.
