The teenager is 5ft 8in (1.72m), weighs 10 stone (63.5kg) and wears an extra large uniform. But after his parents, David and Ennettie, produced evidence, including his Malawian birth certificate showing he was born on 24 September 1996, Poole decided to invite him back to school.
A school spokeswoman said: "Following extensive checks with the relevant authorities, the Summerfield family have been able to prove with complete authenticity that Prince is 14 and should be at secondary school. "Mr Poole has now contacted the family to admit his mistake and apologise for the upset caused.
"He has invited Prince back with immediate effect and promised to ensure his smooth reintegration." Poole said: "I am sorry for the upset this episode has caused. I am now satisfied that all necessary checks confirm Prince is actually 14 and am happy to welcome him back to TPS."

What a way to treat a new student. Disgusting.
Headmaster needs to have his head checked. How can he just assume without giving the boy or his family a chance to prove his age??? I hope this young man does not return to this school and attends another, much better school. As far as I'm concerned, this headmaster should leave the school and stop being an arse! I am truly digusted and appalled that he would treat someone new to the country, let alone the school this way! I wish the boy well and hope he realizes not everyone is like this ridiculous headmaster.
In the above post, i mistakenly referred to the headteacher as headmaster.....just making a correction on my part.
