A school headteacher has defended the decision to ban a senior pupil form their school leavers prom. Aimee Wilkinson is said to have been reduced to tears when she was informed that she could not attend her school prom alongside her fellow pupils.
Gail Wilkinson, Aimee's gran, has revealed the family were made aware of North Durham Academy's decision via a voicemail from the school on Monday afternoon, just two days before the event. Gail added that three weeks ago she paid £35 for a ticket for Aimee to go to prom, believing she would be allowed to attend.
Now her granddaughter, 15, will never get to wear her stunning baby blue prom dress, which cost £495, as well as £50 for alterations. However, the headteacher of the academy this week defended the school's decision.
Gail, from West Pelton, told ChronicleLive : “We know Aimee was no angel, we’re aware that she’s had issues at school before. She can be a bit mouthy but she’s dead loving and caring and she’d help anybody.
“She had fallen behind at school previously and then she came to live with me and she’s really tried going to school and sticking in in that time and tried hard for her exams.
“I’m not normally one to complain but I just don’t understand why the school would take the money for the ticket three weeks ago and then wait until two days before to let us know. They also let the good kids get their ticket for free, but if they’d been ‘naughty’ they had to pay for their ticket.”
Gail said she visited the school on Tuesday afternoon to ask staff why Aimee had been excluded from the prom two days before the event. She added that she was told by a member of staff that Aimee didn’t meet the criteria in November and March and she will be refunded for the ticket.
