Watch Buildings collapse and people run for their lives after Magnitude 6.4 earthquake strikes Turkey, two weeks after massive quake killed thousands (videos) "Sliding in my DM knowing you don't have a passport is insane" - Nigerian-American basketball player, Ezinne KaluĬhristian Atsu’s twin sister in gloomy mood as she is led out of the airport after his body arrived in Ghana (video) It would therefore not be appropriate to comment further at this time.’ The school’s principal, Nigel Clemens, said: ‘This matter is currently subject to examination through the formal school complaints policy. ‘I must ask that you support the school and your daughter by ensuring that she attends school in full school uniform with immediate effect.’ ‘Legal action can be in the form of a penalty notice or a summons to the magistrates’ court. 'Unauthorised absence may result in a fine being issued, or legal action being taken against the adults who have parental responsibility or day-to-day care of your child. In a letter threatening legal action, the school wrote: ‘Siham’s absence is being recorded as unauthorised. ‘The school is threatening to take legal action against me, but I’m not forcing her to wear a longer skirt – it’s her faith and her decision to make.’ ‘She is sent home to change into a shorter skirt then return to school later that day, but she isn’t going to change her beliefs in an hour. ‘All Siham wants to do is to wear a skirt which is a few centimetres longer than her classmates, and I don’t know why the school has such a problem with this. Idris, an athletics coach, added: ‘My daughter is being denied an education because of her religious beliefs. They aren’t accepting me for my religion and that’s wrong. ‘It makes me feel left out, because I can’t see my friends either. I wish I could just have gone to school as normal. ‘I find it annoying because I’ve missed a month of school, so I have to catch up a lot. I like school normally, and English, drama and RE are my favourite lessons but I couldn’t attend. ‘I think they should just let me wear my school uniform to school. ‘It feels like bullying because of what I believe. Siham, who is currently studying from home due to lockdown restrictions, said: The school, has now threatened Idris and his wife Salma Yusuf, 44, with legal action over Siham’s alleged unauthorised absences. She was sent home to change but didn’t return, and the same thing happened each day for the three weeks of term in December, her family said. But the family claim they didn’t know, and Siham continued wearing her longer skirt, unaware until she was pulled up on December 1. The family said they recently discovered a new school uniform rule about skirts was introduced two years ago, stating shorter school-branded skirts had to be worn. Idris, who has 8 kids, said both uniform choices go against his family's Islamic religion. The school, Uxbridge High School, in Hillingdon, west London, says girls should wear black trousers or a black pleated skirt from official uniform suppliers, which the family says falls above the knee. Her father Idris, 55, said Siham was sent home from Uxbridge High School to change every day in December, and told to return wearing the correct uniform, but she refused. Siham Hamud, 12, had been wearing an ankle-length skirt to school for years, but was allegedly told the school uniform was incorrect last month, December 2020. A school has threatened a Muslim schoolgirl’s parents with court action for refusing to send her to school in a shorter skirt.
