Lydia Beaumont's daughter Calliah, aged 13, who attends Lliswerry High School in Newport, turned up to school on Monday morning having dyed her hair pink and purple as opposed to her natural colour.

But within minutes she was told by school staff she had flouted school rules with the colour of her hair, Lydia told the Western Mail.

She said her daughter was told to stay away from her peers and learn in a room elsewhere until her hair had been dyed back to how it was before.

Lydia says since then her daughter hasn't been able to return to the class. A school spokesperson said its “policy clearly states that hair must be of a natural colour”.
