A student was forced to miss out on his senior prom despite turning up to the event after missing one of his final exams. The parents of Harrison Lang, 15, received no prior warning that he would not be able to attend and only found out when one of the teachers phoned to say they should collect him.
Stephen Lang, 54, and partner Kayleigh Richards, 35, received a call from Camborne Science and International Academy on June 28 during the prom. They were informed that because the 15-year-old "was naughty this year" and missed an exam, he was not allowed at the event.
The school says the family never tried to buy a prom ticket – but would have been unable to for not adhering to school policies during the year. Stephen claims he had received zero communication from the school stating this after "forking out a small fortune" for a suit, shoes and a car for the teen.
