Mum says teacher threatened to cut bows off daughter's socks and put her in detention on first day at high school

A parent says she is 'disgusted' with the way her daughter has been treated on her first day at high school.

The mum says her 11-year-old arrived at Dixons Brooklands Academy on Monday morning to be told that if she wore her socks again, the bows would be cut off and she would be given a detention.

She was also told her bag - a black tote bag - was 'inappropriate' and needs to be replaced.
