Schoolboy, 11, put in isolation for 'extreme haircut' to cut locks after being 'bullied'

A schoolboy placed in isolation for his “extreme haircut” has decided to chop off his locks for charity after claiming he was repeatedly bullied for it.

Prior to being 'targeted' and having his hair pulled by students, Aimee Mason, mum of Jaylen, 11, claimed her son was picked out by teachers due to their “discriminatory” hair policy, while queuing to enter Robert Clack school in Dagenham, Essex on his first day of Year 7.

She claimed that Jaylen was immediately separated from the rest of the pupils for having less than a number two haircut on the sides of his head, and that he came home feeling upset about the ordeal last year.
