Schoolboy put in isolation after teachers found his mullet hairstyle 'too extreme'

He was told his haircut was 'unprofessional'

A 15-year-old was put into isolation at school due to his ‘extreme’ mullet hairstyle, his parents have said.

Toby Quinn was told that his haircut was ‘unacceptable’ and ‘unprofessional’ and told him he would have to have it cut off within the week.

He was then separated from his classmates and kept in isolation for the day.

Mum-of-two Naomi, of Ashbrooke, Sunderland, said: “His teachers said they’d changed the haircut policy and it had to go.

"They said that it wasn’t professional and he wasn’t allowed to have it and was told to cut it off.

"I don’t know why a 15-year-old needs to be considered professional. The general gist was that it was considered extreme.

“He did get isolated for having it, he got separated from the school community and he was there for the rest of the day.

“He’s been in isolation previously for having his hair too short. They didn’t allow skin fades.

“Strangely they relaxed that haircut rule and they were allowed to have skin fades. He was the only boy with a mullet in school and they didn’t like it.

“Staff told me he had to have his mullet cut off. I was told in a meeting it had to be cut off.

“That was about four weeks ago, they’d given him seven days to get rid of the hair."

Strangely, this isn’t the first time the teen has been told off by the school over his haircut - however, last time it was because it was too short, not too long.

After being told he had a week to cut his hair, Toby decided to launch a fundraiser for Newcastle Hospitals Charity to support a ward which saved his grandad’s life last year - so teachers allowed him an extension to allow him time to pull in some extra donations.

Naomi, who is a hairdresser herself, added: "We told them he’s decided to raise money and they said he could have a couple of weeks

Toby has since cut his hair while raising funds for charity.

"He wasn’t happy at all though to lose the mullet, he said he was fuming. But he’s come to terms with it, he’s had a few weeks to digest it."

Naomi added: “He thought it would be good to get something positive out of a pretty rubbish situation.

"I suggested it would be good to raise money for the unit that saved his grandad last year.

“We started three weeks ago. His target was £200, but he raised over £340 now.

"But he's a typical teenager so he’s pretty chilled about it all."

LADbible has contacted St Aidan’s Catholic Academy for comment.
