A Gateshead mum has claimed that her daughter was stopped from getting food and water on the hottest day of the year in July because of how she was wearing her t-shirt.
Rebecca Booth said her daughter had tied her top at the back in a manner which showed some of her stomach - and claims that this was cited by staff at Heworth Grange as a reason she couldn't get some food or water. Mum Rebecca said she had complained and been "appalled" by the way it had been handled.
"On July 18, the hottest day of the year, She went into school and they were allowed to wear non-uniform. She had tied her t-shirt at the back. I was picking her up for a doctor's appointment," Rebecca said. "She said she was going to grab some food and water. She came and said she wasn't allowed anything - food or water.
