A mother has blasted a school's 'ridiculous' uniform policy as temperatures surged towards 40C. The furious parent attacked a decision to block pupils wearing cooler outfits during the unprecedented heat.
Lincoln Castle Academy refused to allow students to wear PE kits during the extreme temperatures with a number of children sent home and the school classing it as a 'fixed term exclusion.' Tanisha Smith, mum of Year 7 student Jessica Smith, 12, sent her child to school on Monday morning wearing her PE kit.
The kit included the school badge, meaning her school could be identified in case of any emergency. But Lincoln Castle Academy's uniform policy said that students could leave their blazers and ties at home, but they would still be required to wear trousers, or tights if they were wearing a skirt, LincolshireLive reports.
