Something tells me we aren't getting the whole story here from both sides.
It could be that he was looking at a fail anyway, and excluding him from the exam would be marked as a no-show rather than lowering the schools grades (assuming that in secondary schools that is the case with the results)
At my school, several years after I left, pupils had to re-take an exam because the average grade was so low.
They had to do this after school and what ever result they achieved it would not change the original one.
It was simply a punishment from the head for the pupils low interest in the subject

God thats a first!!! But I think the school were hoping that he would come in correct atire so they must of thought let him get on with it.
Kids nowadays will try and get away with anything today, this includes wearing the incorrect uniforms.
