A headteacher has suspended three pupils after they set up a Facebook group attacking her dress sense.
Elizabeth Hitch was so incensed by comments on the social networking site that she threatened dozens of others at Beaumont School, St Albans, with disciplinary action.
She then fired off letters to parents of students who had participated in the discussions, claiming that the remarks were ‘offensive’ and some were ‘illegal.’
The education authority said that the Facebook site amounted to ‘cyberbullying.’
