Schoolgirl given detention for missing half an hour of lessons for Emergency Appoitnemnt

Courtney Briant, a 16-year-old schoolgirl, left Skegness Academy for an emergency appointment. When she returned to school, they told her she had to make up the time she missed because her absence was “unauthorized”. 



Courtney is a Straight-A student. Her mother, Jane Burnham, found it ridiculous for the school to punish Courtney. It is claimed that she has a 98% attendance record.

The school claimed that their decision for giving Courtney detention was to give her the best chance at doing well during her summer exams.
