An anonymous student said: &quot;While I understand that schools may establish these rules to make sure students are well groomed, I believe it is essential to consider the diverse and individual needs of the students. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;Facial hair is a natural aspect of adolescence and puberty, and enforcing the removal might infringe upon personal choices and their own rights.&quot; The student also claimed that some pupils are being &quot;singled out,&quot; causing anger among the students. <\/p>\n<p><b>READ MORE: Drunk Jet2 passenger blamed panic attack after punching and biting cabin crew<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><i>For the latest wild news and updates from across the globe, click here.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the school confirmed that only sixth formers are allowed to grow facial hair, with exceptions made for religious reasons.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.dailystar.co.uk\/incoming\/article31218018.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_SWNS_MUHAMMAD_SCHOOL_01.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>They said: &quot;All students from Years 7 to 11 are, however, requested to be clean shaven.&quot; The school insists that the policy &quot;has been consistently applied&quot; and that it has never been queried, adding that its behaviour policy &quot;is, and should be, regularly reviewed&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>The school added: &quot;The current policy was written with the support of the student body during the last academic year.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;If students feel strongly about this matter then there are platforms such as the student council so that they can raise issues that are important to them.
