The father of a pupil at an exclusive private school plans to sue over its attempts to expel the boy.
Rhys Gray, 15, from London, has been a student at Marlborough College in Wiltshire for three years.
But the school has said it does not want him to return to the sixth form in September because of a poor disciplinary record.
Rhys's father is taking the college to court to try to stop them barring the teenager from returning.

He said: "We are bringing the case quite simply because we feel we've been unfairly treated and because it's a product of an over-reaching power that private schools generally seem to be exerting."
And his son says that the 400 misdemeanours he is being punished for are all relatively minor.
"It was chewing gum, forgetting books, stuff like that," he said.
He added that he had been caught smoking and once disciplined for having beer.

OK I can see their point about minor things but I'm with the school on this one, minor midemeanours are one thing but 400 ocassions? I think someone has a discipline problem
