Parents are up in arms amid claims their daughters were segregated at a north west school because their skirts were too ‘distracting’.
One parent said: “Do they expect them to cover their bodies from head-to-toe? They have over 100 female students isolated from lessons because of this.”CheshireLive reported that another said: “A new rule, brought out the first day of school term states girls’ skirts should not be above knee length. Because of the new rule, over 100 female students were isolated due to their skirt length.
Adding: “School uniform is an important part of that, as a smart appearance reflects the high standards we set for our students in terms of learning, attitude and behaviour.” “As part of this, we were also clear that in instances where students were not following these policies, corresponding sanctions would be implemented, in line with our behavioural policy.”
