School hits back over decision to suspend dozens of pupils in row over uniform

The changes have been brought in at Buile Hill Academy Salford, which is being supported by a new education trust after failing to change its 'requires improvement' Ofsted rating.

Others have questioned the introduction of tights during the warmer weather and how much it's going to cost families to replace them when they are so easily damaged. It says the suspensions were not a result of incorrect uniform, but pupils' refusal to comply with their request - even when offered uniform supplied by school.

He added: "The only element that's changed is that girls now have to wear tights as it's our belief that it's a much smarter uniform and there were definitely some modesty issues when they didn't have to wear them, so we did make that one alteration. Mr Jordon would not discuss individual cases, but said pupils have been given suspensions for various lengths - parents claim they range from one-and-a-half days to four days - and will be expected to meet the guidelines upon their return.
