Boy punished at school for ‘extreme haircut’

A headteacher has defended his school’s hair policy labelled as strict after a boy with severe eczema was punished for his skin fade as it was deemed ‘too extreme.’

Strood Academy headteacher Jon Richardson says their haircut policy aims to bring ‘equality and focus’ to pupils at the Kent school.

But now the parents of a 15-year-old Liam who has eczema have slammed the policy after he was removed from class.
