A furious mother has slammed her son's school for their 'outdated' and 'ridiculous' uniform policies after her 14-year-old was punished for his new hairstyle, the Mirror reports. Kirsty Sabin said her child's confidence had been 'boosted' after he was given a 'simple, short haircut with a single shaved line on the side' at his local barbers in Bulwell in Nottinghamshire.
However, his teachers at Bulwell Academy were not pleased with his new look when he turned up to school the following day on December 7 and he was informed he was going to be isolated for his haircut. The 14-year-old pupil refused to accept the harsh punishment and the school suspended him as a result 'until his hair grows out'.
A spokesperson said on behalf of the school that the uniform policy clearly states that students are banned from having 'shaved patterns and unnatural hair colouring'. Kirsty has now gone public with her rage as she branded the school's policy as 'ridiculous'.
