Parents are up in arms after a headteacher reportedly sent up to 200 girls home from school or banned them from the classroon over the length of their skirts. A strict uniform crackdown in the south Wales school saw pupils claiming they'd had their school skirts measured.
And others have also reported that girls arriving to class have been confronted with wet wipes to remove their make-up. As well as nail clippers to trim their nails. And one mum said her 13-year-old daughter was told she couldn't attend lessons because she wore false eyelashes.'When I got to school there were two teachers on the front door and they said 'you've got eyelashes on' and they took me to a room and there were literally about 50 girls in that room.''They've got all these girls in isolation rooms, they are now calling them holding rooms, for them all to be sent home. It is unfair and targeting girls.
'I think little things matter' Mr Ebenezer enforced the strict rules in a letter sent out to parents of pupils in the school.'Students will not be allowed to walk around school if these guidelines are not followed.''I haven’t introduced anything new, all I’ve done is reinforce what should already be in place.'I think little things matter. Things like manners, appearance, posture, how we conduct ourselves. I think all of those things are important.
She said: 'I always get concerned at a list of reasons to remove education from children that appears focused on gender. It feels very much like girls' bodies are being considered more than their right to an education.'
