Merchant Taylors
In a statement Lloyd's parents Mark and Karen said: "We were extremely disappointed and maintain that the school has acted unfairly in expelling our son.
"Our son has been labelled in some quarters as a drug dealer which is hugely unfair and wholly inaccurate. It is worth pointing out that at no stage have any criminal charges been brought."
Lloyd was expelled in March by headteacher David Cook.
On two occasions he allegedly drove another pupil - known as Boy B - to buy cannabis, then drove him to Boy C, a Year 9 pupil, who bought it. He also allegedly lent money to Boy B to buy the drug.
Mr and Mrs Ellis, who are from Birkdale, appealed against the expulsion - but a panel of governors at the school upheld the decision.
Boy B was also expelled, while Boy C and another boy were suspended for one week.
Lloyd's parents claimed their son’s treatment was unjustified and disproportionate.
