The trust which runs the school says 'adhering to a professional dress code helps prepare students for future settings'
Parents have criticised a high school for banning girls from wearing socks with their skirts. 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. Dad Rob Irwin, whose daughter is in Year 10 at Moorside, says the school has been 'clamping down' on uniform and telling girls that their skirts are too short.
' In the letter to parents, Owen Inglis, Consilium Academies hub director for north west and Yorkshire, said: 'One area that we feel as a Trust and as individual schools, we can continue to move forward with is the professional dress of our students. 'We want all students at Moorside and Ellesmere to be professional learners both in their approach and their dress. It is for this reason that we are making a slight change to the uniform policy.
