Read our privacy policy Netflix’s Squid Game might be one of the streaming service’s most popular series to date, but it could also be one of the most controversial. John Bramston Primary School in Ilford has issued a letter to parents outlining its concerns that children who have watched the programme are pretending to shoot one another in the playground as a way of re-enacting the show. The letter states: “Dear Parents/Carers, It has come to our attention that a number of our children are watching Squid Game on Netflix. Please support us in keeping your children safe.” Meanwhile, another school in Kent, Sandown, has started offering extra lessons on violence and online harm in response to the programme’s popularity.
