Mum says teacher threatened to cut bows off daughter's socks and put her in detention on first day at high school

A parent says she is 'disgusted' with the way her daughter has been treated on her first day at high school.

The mum says her 11-year-old arrived at Dixons Brooklands Academy on Monday morning to be told that if she wore her socks again, the bows would be cut off and she would be given a detention.

She was also told her bag - a black tote bag - was 'inappropriate' and needs to be replaced.

"I'm just disgusted that kids have had a threat like this on their first day at high school," she said. "It doesn't state on any letters from school that no bows are allowed or no tote bags. As long as it holds everything you need for school it shouldn't be a problem."

The mum-of-three added: "Apparently Year 9 have to wear office wear clothes and some people have mentioned that they take tote bags and handbags with them. I don't know why it's different for other years."

She said her daughter was upset when she returned home on Monday and asked whether she could move schools.

On Tuesday she took her old rucksack from primary school and wore some grey socks without bows, but the mum says she has now been given a detention for this in two weeks' time.

"She received a 12 minute detention," said the mum. "It's totally crazy."

The school, which made headlines last year after its new name was criticised by parents,
