Expulsion row over ‘naughtiest’ boy

Harry Reid was sent home after a “number of very serious incidents”, his school said.

Harry has now been expelled from St Ambrose Barlow Catholic School in Hall Green, Birmingham..

Debbie Reid, 34, told her local newspaper that Harry had thrown items around the classroom and kicked out at other children.

But she said the school had ignored a letter from her son’s doctor explaining that her son was on the autistic and ADHD spectrum.

She said: “He’s been out of school for two weeks now and he’s only had seven pieces of work sent home. It’s disgusting. They’ve kicked him out and given up on him.”

A spokesperson for St Ambrose Barlow Catholic School said: “The decision to exclude a child from school is not taken lightly and
is only ever an absolute last 
resort.

“The school has done everything they could to support the child; however, there have been a number of very serious incidents and the welfare of this child has to be balanced with that of fellow pupils and staff.”
