What a silly school (and Headteacher)

Four teenage boys have worn skirts to school in protest at being disciplined for wearing shorts on the hottest day.

The year nine students at Longhill High School in Rottingdean, East Sussex, were among about 20 boys who wore PE shorts instead of trousers on Tuesday.

Some were sent home, and others kept in isolation and excluded the next day.

When the four boys turned up in school skirts on Thursday, head teacher Kate Williams said they could "wear any part of the agreed school uniform"

I can remember at Secondary School, we had a real cold snap, and it was before the days of certain temp and you were sent home, message came round all the classrooms, until further notice no uniform, warm clothes, girls can wear trousers including jeans. Rather enjoyable time a school it was

Always remember it being a battle to go either open necked shirt/ blazer less for the boys (whilst the girls were in summer dresses!), when the weather was warm. Head said there was a uniform dress code and we all needed to comply. Interesting that this school seems to be quite rigid in its uniform code. So many are not these days. The hot weather was forecast, it might have been sensible to relax the dress code for the duration

All good training for when they visit the dining room on a Cunard cruise. Wink
