Correction: Grinch stole Xmas

An article headlined "GRINCH STOLE XMAS Scrooge teachers ban kids from wearing Christmas JUMPERS to school if their grades aren't good enough" was inaccurate as the students were in fact banned from wearing Christmas jumpers if they did not meet required behavioural standards, as opposed to academic ones.

The school also disputed a quotation included in the article, which had been provided by an agency and repeated the inaccurate suggestion that the ban was for not achieving certain academic grades.

We are happy to set the record straight, and apologise for any contrary impression given.
