Baverstock Academy: Pupils sent home over 'wrong shoes'

Pupils have been sent home from a school in Birmingham for wearing the 'wrong shoes'.

Parent Anne-Marie Alder, from Druids Heath, whose two children were sent home said their footwear is the right colour - black - and that their education is more important.

One parent said hundreds of children were sent home on Tuesday but Baverstock Academy has not confirmed numbers.

The school says it has traditional values and parents were warned about changes to the uniform policy six weeks ago.
