The trend in charity fundraising calendars showing people in various states of undress
was bound to end in tears.
Ananova.com reports that a school calendar featuring 
six-form pupils in poses described as “provocative” has been criticised by the NSPCC
as “inadvisable, irresponsible and ill-judged”. The calendar is entitled (in)appropriately“
Sexey’s Hot Twelve”, because it was produced at Sexey’s School in Somerset, and 
sells for £5. It was not, however, designed to raise funds for charity, but was 
part of a business studies project.

The school says it was only intended as an internal venture and parental permission

 

was obtained.
