Boy banned from school because of his ‘crop circle’ haircut
The lad will have to find another school or spend months in isolation if he doesn't shave it off
A MUM is fuming after her 13-year-old son was banned from school - after getting a CROP CIRCLE haircut.
Benjamin Piper's out of this world new look has got him in trouble already even though the autumn term doesn't start until next week.
His barmy barnet resembles crop circles that some believers say are carved by little green men from outer space.
The lad has also got a star buzzed into his hair after a trip to the local barbers ahead of the new term.
Mum Tracey, from Gainsborough, Lincs, was pleased with the result after taking Benjamin to the hairdressers on Thursday.
But after a warning from her husband about school policy, Tracey checked on the school's website.

She said: "My husband said 'will the school accept that?' so I checked the school's website and nowhere does it say they can't have patterns or lines - it just says no bright colours.
"So I thought I better take him into school to double check and I explained my husband's concerns to the receptionist and asked if she thought it would be OK and she looked at him and said 'probably not'.
"Then the teacher came down and before I even spoke he said 'we're not having that'.
"I was shocked and angry. I tried to say it's not his hair that learns it's him."
The teacher at Gainsborough Academy apparently told Tracey that her son would not be welcome on Monday unless he had his hair shaved off.
If he refuses, he will have to spend the next few months in isolation or find another school.
Tracey said: ""I'm not going to send him in on Monday. I don't know what I'm going to do.
"Benjamin's really upset about it. He's been looking forward to going back since two weeks into the summer holidays."
The uniform policy on the school's website states 'Pupils are only allowed to have natural hair colouring. Greens, blues, reds etc are not allowed'.
