A school has changed its uniform policy to allow girls to wear fake eyelashes to protect their mental health.
Pupils were taking time off school to attend appointments to remove the false lashes and were also left distressed by them being banned, according to a letter sent by a secondary school in Kent.
They will now be allowed to wear discreet false eyelashes as part of the school uniform policy.
David Collins, head teacher of Knole Academy, Sevenoaks in Kent said that pupils were missing school to have their lashes removed or refusing to attend school without them.
