A school was labelled as 'pathetic' after sending home more than 50 pupils for signing each other's shirts during their last day of term. Pupils of Wymondham High Academy in Norfolk were disciplined for celebrating their last day before study leave by writing well-wishes on each other's uniforms.
However, the school's headteacher said the pupils were ordered to be sent home so that "negative behaviour" would not "escalate". And a letter was sent to parents explaining the reason that same day.
In the letter, headteacher Chris Smith said that there were a "small number of year 11 students who arrived at school wanting to celebrate their leavers' day by engaging in shirt signing and disruptive behaviour".
