A schoolboy was found hanged in his bedroom after struggling to cope with his school’s strict rules, an inquest has heard.
Year 11 student Taylor Lee, from Plymouth, died in November 2023 after complaining that every day was a ‘battle and exhausting’.
The school which Taylor attended had started an ‘isolation policy’ in the weeks before his death, which saw students punished for being late to class. On one occasion, Taylor was sent for reflection after arriving 47 seconds late.
He criticised the school for its ‘unlogical’ behaviour policies which prompted his friends to ‘absolutely destroy themselves from emotional overloads in the bathrooms’.
