A family has hit out at their local school after their 12-year-old son was expelled a year ago and has since been studying at home.
Riley Roberts received multiple warnings and temporary exclusions at Haywood Academy, in Burslem, Stoke, before the school acted and kicked him out for ‘behavioural issues’. And now, after spending 12 months away from school, his family want him back in education again and have criticised the academy’s stance, claiming their boy has not been given the assistance he desperately needs.
Mum Katey Cowans and step-dad Dan Walker, both aged 31, feel Riley needs one-to-one support in a classroom. And they think that if accepted back in school, he will turn over a new leaf, reports StokeonTrentLive.
