Summary A school banned 17 pupils from a GCSE exam as they were wearing the wrong shoes.
The parents have labeled the Cardinal Newman Catholic School in Keresley area of Coventry in UK school as “Draconian.”Four students refused to take off their casual footwear after they were asked from the authorities to remove them whereas 13 other took the exam in socks.This tug of war between school authorities and children caused them to miss their math exam.Parents say that the school clearly cares more about dress code than children’s education and the rules are draconian.Students who need the qualification to study A-levels must now wait a year to re-sit.The school authorities say that they have offered financial support to help buy shoes so there is no reason why anyone should not be in full uniform.
