My daughter wasn’t allowed to go to prom even though she’s a top set student because of bizarre rules – she was so upset

A SCHOOL has sparked fury after stopping kids from attending their prom unless they "consistently made a positive contribution" throughout the year.

Devastated students were uninvited from their prom at Honley High School, in Huddersfield, and had to sit out while their classmates dressed up for their final year celebrations.

A spokesman for the school told Yorkshire Live that the children who were allowed to go were those "who have consistently made a positive contribution throughout Year 11".

This bizarre rule triggered outrage among parents and students alike as many were left sat at home instead of dressing up for their prom.

15-year-old Lilli Battye was left "so upset" after being told she could not attend, despite having already chosen her prom dress and booked beauty treatments for the event.

The student's mum said that her daughter is in the "top set for everything", and shared her outrage as she claimed that "naughty" students were still allowed to attend.

"I asked the school to explain the policy to me and they just couldn't. She is in top set for everything" added the mum.

"Honley High School have inflicted disgusting treatment upon me and my friends" said the teen, who claimed the system was a "prime example of special treatment."

"It is because we are not liked by the higher ranked members of the school" she added.

A spokesperson for the school said: "Children who have consistently made a positive contribution throughout Year 11 were invited to attend.

"The fact that so many were present yesterday is testament to the incredible dedication and resilience shown by our students and staff alike, during an unprecedented period of challenge nationally for education."

Lilli added: "This behaviour by the school should not go unanswered for as it has caused a large amount of upset and we just want to warn other children and parents on the unprofessional behaviour that is presented at Honley High School and to not send your children there if you can.

"If I was a parent I would not be sending my child there as I have been a student and could not think of anything worst than going back."
