Alongside the caption “What a joke!!” Sara said: “Do you wanna know what’s really, really funny? My daughter’s gone for her – she’s got there and the teachers are .”
And it wasn’t just her daughter who was refused entry, as Sara continued: “There’s about her and 20 other people that are not allowed to enter the school.
“Do you wanna hear the reason why? Hold on to your hats guys, it’s a badden.
“They’ve gone to school in flares and skirts – how f*****g dare they? How f*****g dare they?”
Sara then added: “I’ve just been on the phone to the school asking why they aren’t letting my daughter in – the receptionist didn’t even know what I was on about, so that’s how much they communicate in this school.
“So apparently now the kids are and they’re – they have to wear trousers.
“If they wanna change the policy, that’s fine. Do you know what’s not fine? Not letting the parents know.
“That would have stopped a lot of issues that have been caused this morning at the .
“The teachers are literally refusing entry – my daughter was on the phone, what did the teacher say – ‘no, you can’t come in.’”
Listening to her daughter on the phone, Sara acknowledged: “The kids are like, ‘I want to come to school, I want to go into school,’ you can hear them on the phone.
If I kept her off school, you’d be on my case. But I’m not allowed to be on your case that you’re not letting my daughter into your school

“The teachers are like, ‘no, sorry, you’ve got to go and get changed.’”
But Sara wasn’t at all pleased, as she asked: “Why? One, it’s p*****g down with rain. Two, the school is 20 minutes away walking.
“She’s gotta walk all the way home. I don’t even know if she’s got a key.
“I’m about to leave the house. She’s got 40% [battery] on the phone. Anything could happen. And if anything does happen, I’ll be the first one at that .”

One person said: “How are you meant to know the policy change if they don’t tell you! Honestly some !”
Another added: “Wow that’s mental, so they miss a full day of school for uniform.”
Meanwhile, one parent wrote: “So only 20 children were refused entry? Only 20 unwittingly broke the rules? Or maybe everyone was told about the change and 20 decided not to follow the rules.
“Schools use email, text, the website, and other means of communicating. Not all parents bother to read it.”
Whilst someone else chimed in: “Read the . Simple.”
