Five-year-old schoolboy banned from school for "extreme" haircut

Five year old Josiah Sharpe has been excluded from school for having a hair deemed as 'extreme' and 'distracting', according to Summerhill Primary Academy in Tipton, Sandwell.

Josiah Sharpe is missing out on his education and playtime in Summerhill Primary Academy in Tipton because his hair is considered too "extreme" for the school.

But his mother Danica Sharpe has protested the decision to send her son home, explaining his haircut is styled "neat and smart" while ensuring it covers up his traction alopecia.
