Girl’s Uniform I am sorry to say that despite repeated requests for support around the issue of school uniform , I am becoming increasingly frustrated by the growing number of female students who are flouting our uniform policy on a daily basis. With the exception of our new school skirt in September 2017, our uniform has remained unchanged over the last ten years and there has always been a clear expectation that girls wear plain black ankle length school trousers that are neither skin tight, cropped or made of legging/jegging type fabric. Appropriate trousers are clearly shown on our website and, due to the increasingly poor response from students and in some instances lack of parental support around our uniform policy, I am now in the position where I am increasingly inclined to change our uniform to badged trousers to go with our badged skirts. At this point I would like your support to ensure that our current policy is adhered to, so that making the change outlined above does not become a necessity for all students.
