Parents have said a school is acting like a 'dictatorship' as their children face 'military-style checks' and isolation over strict new uniform rules. There is particular fury over the footwear policy, which has banned trainers, slip-ons and ankle boots, as well as branded shoes such as Kickers or Hush Puppies.
Moorside High School in Werrington, Staffordshire, has issued a diagram of the outlawed shoes and skirts had been circulated before the school returned. But parents said pupils were 'ambushed in reception' and told to sit in a portable building before 'appropriate uniforms' were dropped off, StokeonTrent Live reports.
Former police worker Tracy Turley said her daughter had her first day back at school on Wednesday. Tracy said the new shoe rules meant she could only buy a £10 pair from Primark, that have left her child in agony.
