Taylor returned to school after the Easter holidays and was almost immediately put in the Internal Exclusion Room.

He was told he would be forced to spend break times, lunchtimes and lessons there until his hair grew back.

His father added: "I'm very angry about it. Taylor has been made very upset, I've persuaded him to go back in tomorrow.

"He's nearly 16 so trying to dictate what length his hair should be is a bit ridiculous. They're basically saying if you're bald that's not an acceptable look.

"The deputy principal spoke to me and said they were trying to teach children there are rules to follow.

"It sounds like a dictatorship to me. It is petty red tape and it's not helping anybody.

"We've been bowled over by the support he's got."

A friend posted on Facebook: "We thought our school wouldn't mind what he had done as it was for a good cause, apparently the fact that he'd raised over £850 pounds wasn't good enough and before he had even gotten to his first lesson they put him in isolation labeling it an "extreme haircut", telling him that he's not able to return to normal lessons until his hair grows back to a more a more suitable length.
