SIR: I reply to the letter from Jean Isherwood (BEN, June 25). For Mrs Isherwood to say the school is stupid, and have denied Steven Moores a chance is rubbish.

If Steven is sitting his GCSE exams he must have been at Thornleigh for at least five years, so he knows the rules. He was allowed to sit one exam and given the weekend to sort out his hair style. He did nothing. It is not the school's fault. These rules have been in place many years.
