Parent livid as school 'bans Clarks shoes'

A parent has been left fuming after his son was reportedly told he couldn't wear his Clarks shoes to school. The headteacher has been accused of turning the school into a "military" camp.

StokeonTrentLive reports that the uniform crackdown has escalated to the point that "every isolation classroom and the hall" was full last week with children who had broken the rules. It reports that the crackdown at Moorside High School in Werrington has focused in particular on footwear.

Nike Air Forces and Hush Puppies are on the banned list. Last week one girl was accused of wearing make-up and another fell foul due to her skirt being made of the wrong material. Now, one parent has said her Year 8 son was told he could wear his Clarks shoes that share a resemblance to Nike Air Forces. But the footwear has now been banned and her son has been put in isolation.
