'My daughter's school banned her from attending the prom - it's the final nail in the coffin'

A mum has said her daughter's school banned her from going to the prom. The family had already bought Holly-Jo Memory's ticket and dress but she wasn't able to attend the school leavers do.

Mum Angela Downes describes the situation as the 'final nail in the coffin'. Her daughter Holly has been going to the school for the last two years, having joined in Year 10.

Ms Downes found out her daughter wasn't allowed to go via a phone call and was completely shocked by the news. She says she also felt 'insulted' because the school kept emailing her offering her the chance to buy a dress for her daughter.
