A Kent school asked pupils to perform a "chav" nativity play - where Mary and Joseph break into a garage instead of finding shelter in a stable.

Mary is told she will get extra benefits for having Jesus, and the Wise Men are asked for gifts of Adidas and Burberry.

Jesus turns water into lager instead of wine, in the production by children at Oakwood School for 11-to-16 year olds with emotional and behavioural difficulties in Bexley.

When a character says Mary is a virgin, another replies: "Wossat then? A train?" The script was thought to have been found on the internet.

Michelle Taylor, 35, who has a relative at the school, said: "I couldn't believe it. You encourage children to speak properly, then they get this at school."

Bexley Council said the script was used in a drama lesson for kids of 14, but the school would still stage a traditional nativity.
