Video: Concerned mother pulls piano prodigy son out of £17,000-a-year prep school after they refused to let him skip RUGBY

Hayley Bushell, 42, feared her talented son Curtis Elton, 11, could be permanently injured during games lessons at his £17,000-a-year prep school.

But when teachers refused to let him skip class, she pulled him out of the school - before having a £150 contract drawn up which states he must not take part in the sport. In the contract it specifically excluded “any rugby related bodily Injury” meaning it would not pay out if Curtis’ musical career was affected by a knock he got on the pitch.
