A group is staging a protest near a primary school in Wollaton over sex education essons.

The protest is taking place near Fernwood Primary School in Arleston Drive, Wollaton.

It is against relationship and sex education (RSE) lessons being delivered across schools in England. These lessons include discussions about LGBT relationships.

There is also a counter-demonstration taking place.

Nottinghamshire Police said they were "monitoring the situation".

The plans for the protest were first revealed in videos that circulated on Facebook. Parents at the school raised concerns about the protest due to a lack of information and potential safety issues.

The organiser, Ayaz Ahmed - who also took part in the education protests in Birmingham - previously told Nottinghamshire Live the Wollaton protest was "a last resort" and he did "not want to create division in the community".

He added the aim was to support parents within the community who are against the "overall teaching of sex education to children, including heterosexual relationships".

Nottingham City Council leader, David Mellen described the protest as "worrying and alarming" and said he urged parents to not listen to the "misinformation" from the group.
