A row has broken out between a mother and a school in Shrewsbury after her daughter was turned back at the school gates two days running for wearing short socks instead of tights.
Mercy Preece, 12, missed two days of schooling at Shrewsbury Academy after being sent home on Monday and Tuesday,
She said:"I understand there is a safeguarding policy over what girls have to wear but in these conditions I don't know why they are not allowed to wear PE kit or baggy clothing because it is very uncomfortable for them in full uniform. "Mercy was turned straight away from the gates as soon as they saw she was wearing socks rather than tights but in this weather she is more comfortable in them."
