Children have been banned from wearing Christmas jumpers at a school non-uniform day if they haven’t made the right grades.
Furious parents say it is a humiliating “punishment” that shames those who’ve failed to reach the required standards.
The Bicester School told pupils that they had to achieve a certain number of Cs in its behavioural system or they couldn’t take part in today’s event, which is raising money for Save the Children.
Posting online, one mum said: “I agree with reward and consequence. I do not agree with making kids in effect wear a badge for the day announcing they didn’t make the grade.”
Another wrote: “It is a public declaration of which children have been singled out as not achieving enough,” the Oxford Mail reported.
A third added: “This is about raising money for charity, not punishing children. I do hope you are paying personally for every child you’re segregating so the charity does not lose out.”
