Parents slam 'draconian' school rules after girls put in isolation over length of skirts
Parents have criticised a school where pupils have been put into isolation amid a row over the length of their skirts.
One mum said her daughter's skirt met the 'knee length' requirement, but teachers disagreed and when she refused to change into one of the skirts at school, she was put is isolation for the whole day. The mum-of-two, aged 45, said work was given to her daughter in the isolation room, but she missed her science lesson when she has an assessment this week.
"One of the reasons staff spoke about was it being unhygienic, but I think it's very wrong for them to suggest to young girls that they're being unhygienic. Some of the comments my daughter said were made are very misogynistic." It added: "Please note, students who do not meet the 'Ready' expectations will be offered the opportunity to do so but refusal to cooperate or persistent infractions will result in sanctions. Obviously, this would not be an ideal start to 2023, so we ask that you help your child to come back to school on 3rd January fully 'Ready'."
