Turmoil at London school hit by flag and hairstyle row
Students plan to refuse lessons in protest, with some accusing school of targeting marginalised groups
A London secondary school that has been criticised for changes to its policies, curriculum and strict new uniform policy is in turmoil, facing mass staff resignations, a student protest and a vote of no confidence in its headteacher.
One teacher predicts a “mass exodus” of staff at Pimlico Academy with up to 30 members due to leave at the end of the year. Students are also planning a large protest to be held in the school grounds on Wednesday morning.
