A mum has been left furious after her three-year-old son was banned from his first school photo because of his haircut.

 

Julieann Yates arrived at her son’s school to pick him up and was told the headteacher had deemed his hair too short, meaning three-year-old Delaney had to sit out and watch the photo being taken.

 

His mum has now spoken out against the school, saying: “I was really, really mad. We were looking forward to having his picture taken with the other children and he was talking about it on the way to nursery that morning. It would have been his first ever school photos. I was very, very upset and angry.”

 

 

The headteacher at Southwick Community Primary School has defended the school’s decision, saying: “Every family with a child at our school receives a home school agreement which includes the school uniform policy and extreme haircuts. Also letters are regularly sent out to remind parents of the school rules on extreme haircuts ... We are all disappointed that this year a handful of parents who chose to ignore the home school agreement policies and rules should deliberately disrupt those arrangements for everyone else.”
