Lea Scott, whose daughter Paige Bradwell is in Year 10 at Rushcliffe School in West Bridgford, has claimed the incident arose over the school's uniform policy. Speaking to the Nottingham Post the mother said that her daughter had been withdrawn from lessons by teachers at the school. Ms Scott who lives in Edwalton in Nottinghamshire has said that her daughter Paige has been regularly told off because her trousers are too short.

       Ms Scott told Nottinghamshire Live: "She's grown a bit in the last few months.

       "By the sounds of it lots of students are being punished because of issues like this.

       "In my opinion, the school is just a bit backwards.

       "She can wear a skirt but not trousers that are slightly short?"

       The school's uniform policy said trousers are expected to be "plain style covering the ankle and the sock".

       It also adds that trousers "must touch the top of the shoe".

       Ms Scott continued: "I am a single parent with another child on the way.

       "Buying uniforms all the time is expensive.

       "I just don't know what to do anymore. It's an ongoing battle.

       "They've really come down on it in the last few months.

       "I think she was showing a centimetre and a half of ankle.

       "That's how pedantic they are being.

       "She's being taken out of lessons and put in isolation rooms for the whole day.

       "I think it's appalling."

       The Rushcliffe School have been approached for comment.
