School wins right to expel pupil

A boy has lost his battle to stop being expelled from a top boarding school.

Rhys Gray, 16, was excluded from Marlborough College because he had broken too many school rules.

But his father took the £22,000 a year public school to court, claiming the school kicked him out for getting average predicted exam results.

The college successfully convinced the court that Rhys was expelled because of his "appalling record" of behaviour and bullying over three years.

The court has not given Rhys and his dad Russell Gray permission to appeal against the decision.

It has ordered Mr Gray to pay his own legal costs, as well as those of the college, which is in Wiltshire.
