A father is furious after 15-year-old Ollie was put into isolation for taking his blazer off in sweltering heat

Tim Davies, from Essex, told LBC that his son Ollie, who is about to take his GCSE exams, missed out on a day of classes last week to sit in "a tiny room in a booth".

"He did, he put it on and then climbed three sets of stairs which is a long way up. He took his blazer off again because he was melting.Mr Davies said he called the school in the Sudbury area and spoke to the teacher concerned who "didn't back down". LBC has agreed not to name the school. He said headteachers must adopt a "reasonable, common sense approach", because children are "uncomfortable and can't learn in class".
