A young boy was sent home 15 minutes into his first day of Year 7 for not wearing the correct uniform.Hanham Woods Academy asking her to come and pick up her son Oliver after teachers took issue with what he had on.
The Bristol school says it operates on a house system meaning that all students must wear the official school sweatshirt, white shirt and tie of the house they were put in. Teachers noted that the 11-year-old’s boy’s black sweatshirt was not the official uniform one bearing the school’s badge.He was also wearing white trainers, rather than the dark-coloured smart shoes required by the school.Haley said that the only way to purchase a uniform is from a local shop which has been closed since the beginning of lockdown in March.She said she had been saving up all summer to afford the uniform and criticised the school for not relaxing its policy.
Haley told Bristol Live: ‘It is a real struggle for parents on a budget to be able to afford this expensive school uniform and shoes, and I’ve been saving up as much as I could all summer. In the end, when I went to buy Oliver’s uniform I found there’s a ten-day delivery time, and it didn’t come in time.
Pathetic school. A little relaxation on the dictatorship of the uniform under the circumstances should be the norm
The school offered a uniform. He refused to wear it. 🙄
