A dad says his 15-year-old son was left "absolutely devastated" after being turned away from his senior prom because he had missed one of his final exams. Harrison Lang had been looking forward to the dance, with his dad Stephen Lang, 54, and partner Kayleigh Richards, 35, spending a "small fortune" on his suit and arranging for a car for the occasion.
However, the couple were left shocked when they got a phone call from Camborne Science and International Academy asking them to pick up the schoolboy last Tuesday - as he was not welcome at the dance. They were told that Harrison had been banned from attending the prom due to missing one of his final exams and "being naughty this year".
However, the school reportedly says that neither Harrison or his family had try to buy a ticket to the event, and would have been refused over his failure to adhering to school policies over the course of the year.
