Parents concerned over volume of after school detentions issued to Selston High School pupils

Parents are concerned over the volume of detentions children are receiving at a Nottinghamshire secondary school. Selston High School welcomed pupils back on Monday, September 5, for the start of the academic year, but parents have since spoken out about their concerns over the school's behavioural policies.

Parents of pupils at the school claim students are being given multiple detentions for vague reasons, and new rules on how pupils should conduct themselves are causing children stress. Mum of three, Rebecca Hames, 32, has children at the school in Year 9 and 7, and says "in previous years there's not been any problems with behaviour or anything like that."

But the school has defended its policies, saying it has "high expectations for all students".
