A mum is fuming after her son was told he could not attend a school trip.
Julie Allan's son is in year nine at St Michael's Church of England High School in Crosby. The mum said he came home on Monday evening and told her that he would not be allowed to attend the end-of-year ice skating trip on July 18.
After phoning the school Julie was told that teachers would only be taking the top 140 pupils out of a possible 500 in the school as a reward. Julie said that while she agrees with the idea of a rewards-based trip her son ranked 147 on the list and no criteria or reason has been given for his exclusion from it.
