Parents are slamming a schools "double standard" after a boy missed out on a year of school after being expelled due to "behavioural issues".
Riley Roberts was kicked out of school last October after multiple warnings and temporary exclusions. The 12-year-old Liverpool fan has spent the last year kicking footballs and studying at home - but his family say he needs to return to school and "be around people again".
Mum Katey Cowans and step-dad Dan Walker, 31, believe Riley needs more one-to-one support in lessons - something which they say Haywood Academy, in Burslem, Staffordshire wasn’t able to provide, Stoke-on-Trent Live reports. Medical tests have concluded that Riley does not have ADHD.
