ANGRY parents have accused one school of treating their kids like "caged animals" over uniform rules - as one mum says her son has been banned from wearing Clarks shoes.

Moorside High School in Werrington, Stoke-on-Trent has found itself on the receiving end of a backlash at the beginning of the school year.

Uniform policy means students can not wear branded shoes like Hush Puppies and Nike Air Forces, while reports also say pupils have fallen into trouble over make-up and the material of their skirt.

While the school insist the rules have not changed, parents have complained about the "military-style" checks that they allege have been implemented.
