Hundreds of students join protest at London secondary school over curriculum and uniform rule changes
Hundreds of students have staged a protest outside a London secondary school over allegations of racism amid changes to the curriculum, its uniform policy and the placement of a union flag outside the building.
Students, parents and some staff at Pimlico academy have been angered over the recent changes, culminating in a large-scale protest on Wednesday morning. The protest was originally organised to take place on a football pitch within the school grounds, but in an apparent attempt to stop the event from happening, the gates to the pitch were allegedly locked by school staff.
