Parents expressed their concern over 'unfair' rules as temperatures soar over 30C while teachers are able to come in 'skirts and shorts'
A group of boys went to school in skirts and PE kits in protest of being made to wear their full uniform during the heatwave.
"I rang the school and they said it is the policy for them to wear uniform. The school said they are not allowed in their classes if they wear PE kit and have to be separated from children in uniform. If they go in PE kit on Friday I was told the children will be sanctioned. My son suffers from headaches in the heat and I let him go in his PE kit so he wouldn't overheat and the air could get to his legs. Otherwise he has to wear thick black trousers and a shirt buttoned up to the neck.
The 36-year-old said: "It was very hot on Wednesday and the kids were all complaining. They were told they would either be put in a different classroom and excluded from all the other children or sent home if they wore PE kits and that it's compulsory to wear their uniform.
