A schoolgirl claims that she was banned from learning due to her ankle-skimming trousers that were too short and 'might distract teachers'.
Olivia Harrison, 13, said she was pulled up by an unknown teacher because her trousers were too revealing - and claims the same staff member also told her the trousers showed her figure too much as well.
The teenager says she was then told to change into a pair of trousers and socks from her school's lost property collection.

When she refused to adhere to the school's strict uniform rules, she was forced out of her class and put into isolation at lunchtime on Monday, as reported by the Daily Record.
However Olivia's school, John Smeaton Academy in Leeds, West Yorkshire defiantly said it "makes no apologies" for having "the highest standards across all areas of school life" including school uniform, according to Leeds Live.
Olivia said: "[The staff member] said I had to change my trousers and socks because you could see my ankles and she said it was distracting for other pupils and teachers.
"I said, 'are you saying they're going to get turned on?' And [the staff member] said, 'well I wouldn't put it like that.'
"She said my trousers showed my figure too much as well."
The Year 9 pupil from Leeds, said she was told to go into isolation after objecting to change her trousers and when she refused to go into isolation she was then excluded from school for two days.
Olivia says she still has three days in isolation to complete after she returns to school on Thursday.
Her mum Karen Harrison said several students have fallen foul of uniform rules since the school was taken over by The Gorse Academies Trust at the start of term.
She said: "It's got really bad the last two weeks. Olivia's trousers are from Debenhams, they're the ones she wore before with no problems.
"Now I've got to order more trousers. They should be more interested in education and not what pupils are wearing."
Karen said she has tried to contact the school several times but to no avail.
A spokesperson for The Grove Academies Trust said: "We have the highest standards across all areas of school life, whether that is in the classroom, in terms of behaviour and with regard to uniform.
"We make no apologies for this and are pleased that the majority of students abide by these standards.
"However where students do not meet them, we have clear policies in place.
"We do not comment on individual cases but can say we have not received a parental complaint on this matter."
