If you walked into the firm I work at with hair looking like that, the hiring manager probably wouldn't even bother to interview you. At some point kids need to start learning about decorum and grooming standards. Some schools start that process early, some don't bother at all -- it's a matter of educational philosophy. If your kid's Halloween wig is that important to you and/or him, find a school whose philosophy permits it instead of trying to change a school's educational philosophy around your kid's hair.
Speaking of the real world, some day an employer will tell the kid "Sorry, no job unless you cut your hair." Then what? He runs home and gets Mommy to go talk to the employer?
Believe or not some parents do call a employer to complain or demand a raise for their kid

There's always SOMEONE who likes to bring up "Some day he's going to grow up and who will hire him?" dialogue.
He's 8.
I realize this is in the U.K., but do they not have public schools in the U.K.? Sounds like his mom is trying to enroll him in private schools. IMO, private schools can make up pretty much any rules they want, and have any dress code they want.

Not just private schools... private Christian schools with published grooming codes for hair, etc.
Her first choice was the Catholic school that hassled her eldest son over his hair when he attended
Jesus, The assumptions you're making in this post are astounding. The kid clearly has his hair braided otherwise it wouldn't be 'wavy', By your logic any hairstyle can be a distraction ie; mohawk, dreadlocs etc.
If your child can't learn because another student has dreads, That sounds like a personal problem.
Lastly the onin should be on the teacher to assign a proper seating chart.
It’s wavy because that’s his hair type. Mine is the same way. I don’t braid it.
I don't need to go around researching ethnic hair, I'm Black and my hair is coarse.
Just by looking at that childs hair its blatant that at some point its been braided, Which would be the right thing to do considering the knots he would struggle with on the daily would make the upkeep intense.
Now whether it was micro braids/singles or thick braids just to keep the hair neat and prevent knotting that's a different story.
That's different though than saying that it has to have been braided if it is wavy.
