@rosBIGWRITING With all the poor mental health in young people these days, I think schools should have something else to think about other than someone's hair. This is a disgrace. It maybe an academy but a big complaint needs to go in at the highest level including the MP. Go to media.

This is a young man I know personally. He is 14 and has had a new haircut (shown). He has been given a 60 mins detention EVERY evening & isolation every break & lunch until his hair grows. Help - is this normal educational behaviour? I am horrified.
