A Nottingham family say they've been left frustrated that a 14 year old is missing out on his education due to what they have described as a "harsh" punishment. The teenager is a pupil at Bulwell Academy, where he has missed out on education after he felt unsafe completing his isolation days at another school site, the Ellis Guildford School a few miles away in Basford.
The pupil reportedly received two days isolation after he refused to put on his school blazer, which had been soaked by a water bottle from another pupil that morning. The pupil's family claim that due to the incident he was sent home and told he needed to complete two days in isolation at another school, during which he would need to wear his own school uniform.
Bulwell Academy said it uses "alternative reset spaces at sister school Ellis Guilford when staff feel it is necessary to provide students with a more neutral space for reflection".
