Mum slams school for treating pupils like 'caged animals' as Clarks shoes banned

A mum has blasted a school after boys were banned from wearing Clark shoes under a new uniform policy. Parents have accused the headteacher at Moorside High School, in Cellarhead, Staffordshire, of turning it into a "military camp" with the strict crackdown on uniform and behaviour.

Isolation spaces and classrooms for rule-breaking students were said to be completely full last week, Birmingham Live reports. The stringent rules now police every part of the students' uniforms, with several types of footwear - including Hush Puppies and Nike Air Forces - now banned.

They also set out standards for clothing, with one female pupil allegedly told off because her skirt was the wrong material. One parent says her Year Eight son was told his Clarks shoes, that share a resemblance to Nike Air Forces, were suitable for the class room. But the footwear has now been banned and her son has been put in isolation.
