A 15-year-old girl is said to have been sent home from school for not wearing tights on the hottest-ever June day – seeing her miss mock exams.
Her mother, who has asked not to be named, says she was furious when the youngster was told to leave the Co-op Academy in Blackley early.
She had turned up at school wearing a skirt and socks, opting against tights for the soaring temperatures.
However, teachers sent her home, saying that tights are ‘mandatory’ for those who wear skirts.
The student was forced to miss her French mock exam as a result, her mum said.
