Students have staged a protest as a man once dubbed "Britain's strictest headteacher" introduces his controversial methods into their school.
Barry Smith has been accused of bringing "military" tactics into King's Leadership Academy and pupils were said to be so angry that they orchestrated a protest yesterday afternoon, with many refusing to go back to class after lunch.
Mr Smith was recently hired as a freelance consultant at the Liverpool high school but has seen backlash from students, some of whom claim he has made alleged "sexist" and innapropriate comments. School bosses said they investigated the claims and have proven them to be unfounded.
