Two secondary schools have made the uniform change saying pupils need to adhere to 'a professional dress code'
We reported on Saturday how the change is being introduced at both Moorside High School in Swinton and Ellesmere Park High School in Eccles , both in Salford and run by the Consilium Academies trust.
"Just wear correct uniform," said one. "I know it sounds extreme at times, but rules are rules, it’s that simple. Don’t like them don’t send them to that school." A third said that society's view that wearing short skirts 'is equal to loose morality' is what needs to change. He said. "It's like going back to the 80s where if a woman was assaulted people would say 'well it's because of what you were wearing or how you look'.
"This is teaching girls and boys for that matter, that if you can't control yourself looking at a set of legs then we'll forcibly cover them all up." In a statement to the Manchester Evening News, Mr Inglis said: "Our updated uniform policy at Ellesmere Park and Moorside High Schools is designed to promote clarity, consistency, and professionalism for all students. By introducing a standard requirement of opaque non-patterned black tights with skirts, we provide clear guidance and remove uncertainty around the style and type of socks allowed.
