“Issue with trainers”

unlock
"> This school is all about politics. My daughter wore £100 pair of trainers last year to school. I asked the school before I purchased them if they would be OK, and was told yes as long as they are all black. She started back in September and has been told they are not acceptable. I've had no phone call, no email, no letter but my daughter tells me the children are lined up and told that if they have not changed their footwear by Monday, they will be put in isolation. So they are allowed to disrupt my child's education due a pair of shoes that does not affect her learning; being put into isolation WILL affect her education! All mums who are experiencing the same issue, please share. We must not let the school get away with this.
