A mum has slammed a school after her daughter was sent home just 10 minutes into the new term because teachers said her skirt was too short. Nicola Parkinson said her daughter Mia was one of several students to be sent home from Handsworth Grange Community Sports College in Sheffield on the first day.
The schoolgirl was wearing the same skirt she had worn last term, however under new uniform policies, it was no longer considered appropriate. Mia's 13-year-old cousin Ethan Teasdale was also sent home from class because of his shoes.
Again, the teen was wearing the same black trainers he had worn during the last school year, but was told on Monday that the gold trim on the heel of the footwear was against the school's uniform rules. Ethan's mum, Lauren Parkinson, was told he would not be allowed to return to class until he changed his shoes.
