School Sees Red Over Girl's Hair Colour. A TEENAGE girl has been sent home from school after turning up with her hair dyed bright red. Charlotte Wilson, 13, has been told by Broadland High School in Hoveton, to remain at home until the colour is back to normal, which her mother has said will take at least two weeks. The head of year, Andrew Wicks, denied Charlotte had been suspended and said she would be welcome to return to class once the dye was completely washed out. In the meantime, the school has also supplied the youngster with work to continue her education at home. It is the second time the normally blonde North Walsham youngster has dyed her hair bright red, after first pulling the stunt for comic relief earlier this year. Her mother, Tracey Kerr, 34, from Ashfield Road, argued her daughter's extreme hair-do had no bearing on her education. But Mr Wicks, who is head of year eight at the school, said Charlotte's hair had now twice violated their code of conduct, leaving them with no choice but to take disciplinary action. "She came into school a couple of weeks ago with almost day-glow red hair," he said. "We have something on our uniform policy which says there should be no extreme hair colours. "She was then sent home to get it rectified and she did. She dyed it a nice auburn colour. "But then she came back the other day and we were back to day-glow red again. "She certainly hasn't been suspended. She has been sent home to work at home. "She will be allowed back once she looks like she belongs to the school again and not out on a night out." Ms Kerr, who has two other children, Aaron, 21, and Ryan, 11, said her reliance on benefits meant she could not afford any more dye to restore Charlotte's hair to a more traditional colour for another 10 days. She said the red style had suited her, and that Charlotte wanted to dye it because she was fed-up being called a "blonde bimbo" by other pupils. "I'm not going to be able to afford this before the end of next week," she said. "I cannot afford to take her to a hairdressers to get it sorted. "The school has sent her three sheets of work, but I can't help her with them. This is no substitute for being at school. I don't know what her hair has got to do with her education."
