Parent's furious response at school uniform incident

The parent says 425 pupils were put in isolation, or sent home Credit: PA

A parent has reacted furiously, after hundreds of pupils were sent home or put into isolation, at a school in Brampton.

The pupils at William Howard School were reportedly punished because they hadn't followed new uniform rules, that had come into force over the summer:

425 kids put in isolation at William Howard School today, for violation of the uniform code.

Well I say this to teachers.

We pay your wages via taxation, and how much do actions like these cost the taxpayer in catch up lessons ect?

If you really want our kids to comply to a stringent dress code, then I think you should practice what you preach - get yourselves a uniform as well."
