Angry parents have blasted the school for putting pupils in isolation for wearing footwear deemed as unsuitable.
A furious mum has slammed her daughter's school after she was sent home for wearing designer shoes. Angry parents have blasted the school for putting pupils in isolation for wearing footwear deemed as unsuitable on the first day of the school year.
"They've said she can't wear them for health and safety because the shoe doesn't cover the top of the foot. I asked if I could get her a loafer and they said that still wasn't acceptable, it had to be a brogue type of shoe. The dad of a year nine student, who chose to remain anonymous, says a "large proportion" of girls had been sent home for wearing the black Vivienne Westwood shoes, which feature the brand's logo on the front. He said: "It's ridiculous, it's way over the top. They're not taking into account their education. They have been off for six to seven weeks already and they're going to keep them off further for a pair of shoes.
"Not something as abrupt as sending them home and expecting them to have a pair of shoes straight away. We're in the middle of a cost of living crisis. Parents have probably scrimped and saved up for these shoes that were £100 because their kids harped on for them because all their friends are wearing them.
The woman, who is working as a student nurse, said: "It's a Nike walking boot - he walks to school and back everyday and they are robust. They want them to wear office shows, like brogues. That's not good for them to walk to school in, especially in the rain. I have told the teacher if they are not going to accept him into school they have to wait until I get paid at the end of the month.
