POKEMON cards are causing “disruptions and disputes” at a primary school, prompting the headteacher to ask parents to make sure they are left at home.

Laindon Park Primary, in Church Hill Laindon made the request in its first newsletter to parents after the Easter break. 

It says: “We ask that no Pokemon cards are brought into school. 

“Trading (and) playing with these cards is unfortunately causing disruptions and disputes during the school day.”
