Teenager schoolgirl excluded from school for being ‘caked in make-up’
She said she didn’t see her daughter before she went to school so was preparing to tell her off about wearing make-up.
But when she saw her, she said she could barely see any make-up.
Jazzmin, who does not wear makeup often for school, used a little bit of foundation, eyebrow pencil and highlighter.
‘When she got in the car, I was like “is that it?”‘ said Rachel.
‘I was expecting her to be in full makeup but I could hardly tell she was wearing any unless I looked closely. Jazzmin has regular attendance and rarely gets detention. She is not a troublemaker.
‘She only had minimal makeup. The older pupils are allowed to wear makeup as long as it is discreet, which is what it says in the student planner.
‘If they just gave her a detention then I would have told her to just take it and get it over with but to exclude her for a day and half in a GCSE exam year, I think is a bit excessive. It is ridiculous to think she has been excluded when you see the makeup she had on.’
The school’s planner under make up states that ‘false eyelashes are not allowed. Any make up worn by older students should be very discreet. Students will be asked to remove make up if it is not discreet.’
Rachel also said that Jazzmin has been told she could not attend her own school prom after she took two days off school because of bullying, which dragged her attendance below the required percentage.
A spokesman for the Outwood Academy Trust, which runs the school, said: ‘While we will not comment on specific students, the academy clearly states in its behaviour policy, ‘noticeable make-up is not allowed and any make-up must be discreet’.
‘This guidance is repeated within the students’ planners. No student is excluded for wearing make-up.
‘They are, however, asked to tone down any noticeable make-up and will be excluded for failing to follow this reasonable request.
‘Any students attending the academy wearing make-up not considered discreet is given the opportunity to remove it.’
