A football-mad teenager has been told he will have to sit his exams away from his fellow pupils after having a patriotic haircut for the World Cup.
Martyn Woodward has had his hair shaved into the shape of a St George's Cross to show his support for England.
But Huntington School in York has now told him he has to sit his GCSE exams away from the other students.
The school says the haircut breaches its policy but Martyn has vowed to keep it until the end of the tournament.

Replace Europeans with Americans and soccer with war and that's exactly how we feel about you lot.
Just replace that with "Rednecks" and "NASCAR" and "Americans" and "US Football" (Aka: The suck version).
Seriously... and you guys and baseball. God.
But seriously though... NASCAR is the best sport in the US. End of sentence.
Kid gets attention.
*shrug*
Well summed up.
Seriously? Don't think we have rules like that...
It is called FOOTBALL, i know its confusing because you have your own rip-off version of Rugby over there that you call "Football" even though you practically never use your feet on the ball.
Americans watch and go mental over Baseball *yawn* so i wouldnt comment there.
Finally...England hasnt had a serious hooligan problem for a long while, last serious sports rampage was in LA at the end of the NBA season a little while ago.
As for this kid...Kermit said it best!
There were exceptions but i know people who were made to shave before exams.
Not quite as old but the comp has also turned a blind eye as apparently his older brother is sporting the same hair cut
Having played both, I'd say they're in no way similar.
I think it's more that people on ESPN like to talk alot about how people go mental over baseball. We like to prettned to watch it because it's our national past time.
Surely the clue is in the word - football.
besides, I'm far too hung over at the moment to get hung up on technicalities.
I don't really care tbh. You can call it what you want for all I care.
I'm just in a silly mood
Ah, I figured it!
Osama is hiding in his own beard! *Contacts CIA*
My school it was between a 2 and a 6... stupid school.
they cant be true male student without a mess of a face during revision time and exams
Ahahahahaha that made me laugh
As for the kid and the school, I expect nothing less. You. Must. Conform.
