What an articulate and thoughtful child. I do hope the school will change their rule on long hair, it's so outdated.

It's in the 2019/2020 Seconfary Admissions book and its website indicates that it is expecting an intake in September :).

Funny but I read the letter he had allegedly written and thought it sounded like it had been written by the parents.

I personally hope the school stand their ground although I am sure their are others who will argue the opposite.

Regardless of who caves first can you imagine being an 11 year old boy starting your first day at a new school knowing that every single teacher knows that your mum and dad moaned to the papers about your school before you’d even started...

Genuine question. Presumably they must have a policy that allows Sikh boys to attend. Why can't they just follow those same rules?
