Simranjot Kaur, 13, and 11-year-old Prasimran Kaur, who aren't related, returned to St Anne's Catholic School in Southampton, Hampshire, wearing their traditional religious headwear. Newly enrolled year seven student Prasimran was told to take it off shortly after walking into school, while Simranjot, who is in year nine, said a teacher spotted her coming through the gates yesterday.
