Girl banned from school for having natural red hair

"We expect our Sixth form students to be excellent role models for the rest of our students and the vast majority of our school community supports us in that."

Yes, because hair color definitely has earth shattering effects in society. Be a role model and **** the system right up in the ass.

I'm not sure what state laws this site uses so I'm not going to answer that. But it involves an act that is completely legal in almost EVERY states/country for her age.

Basically see if the ______ matches the ________.

And? As long as the color is natural...it's okay. Schools don't want unnatural colors. Honestly it's surprising to me this is even an issue.

"Our policy on hair, which is made clear on the website and to all students and parents, refers to hair when dyed in unnatural colours. In this case, two tone hair with yellow dipped dyed ends crosses that line. The policy is to ask students to tone it down or to tie it up so that unnatural colour is not visible, as was agreed in this case."

Looking at the picture of her obviously un-natural looking dyed hair, it's not surprising at all. Even so, it appears the School and the girl were able to come to a reasonable compromise and she is currently attending classes. All is well in the world again :)

It's not her natural hair colour, you can see brown re-growth in that YouTube video.

@LJS9502_basic: how do you even know if this is in Britain? LOL

but anyways this is pretty stupid

I'd stab sumone, but I'd always stab sumone. If I were banned from school for my natural hair color I might even stab two people, if for dying it the same color my hair is naturally, I'd stab 1.25 people.

Her hair doesn't even look like a "normal" red.....which is what people are saying.

That school is run by too many shameful morons.

Meh, most likely certainly not a very good and worthy school to go to anyway, I'm sure there are better more worthy schools to go to and attend, that doesn't have staff freak out over nonsensical petty things.

there is red hair and then there is two-tone cheeto dust in regular and flaming hot..

Why would her parents send her to such a fascist school? I hope it was worth it.

I read about it a few days ago.. Or was it a week???

The articles stated she had dyed her hair a little. Made it brighter, though from what I remember, it did not state if she had made it even brighter over Easter break, however as OP states, it was even brighter before, and that was apparently OK.

No. I bet the school administration thought she would take souls of all the other students as she was getting close to graduate. :P

Why do i get the feeling that its not the whole story about her hair colour.

Trinity School Statement – 16th April 2015

Following recent speculation and inaccurate reporting in the media about hair colour we would like to clarify Trinity School’s position. Firstly, it is important to state that no student has been banned from school this week. The student in question has been in lessons all week and accompanied the rest of the year group on our Futures Ready trip to Northumbria University yesterday.

We have a high achieving Sixth form; last year’s results were in the top 12% nationally. We achieve this because of our policy of maintaining high standards in all that we do. Our policy on hair, which is made clear on the website and to all students and parents, refers to hair when dyed in unnatural colours. In this case, two tone hair with yellow dipped dyed ends crosses that line. The policy is to ask students to tone it down or to tie it up so that unnatural colour is not visible, as was agreed in this case.

We expect our Sixth form students to be excellent role models for the rest of our students and the vast majority of our school community supports us in that.

But the life of a privileged girl from the upper class in England sure is fun to read about and her going to a posh religious private school.

@horgen:

I am not sure where all these jokes about people with red hair came from, but I have yet to laugh at a single one.

Knew it was fake when the article's source is The Mirror. lol british rags lol

That don't look like natural hair color to me. And her eyebrows look darker.

You best wait till next year bud!

"The age of consent for sexual activity in the UK is 16. In England and Wales, the age of sexual consent for women has been set at 16 since 1885." She's 17 and lives in UK.

Stop thinking every country is super up-tight about sex like USA hehe.
