Campaigners had urged the school to reconsider its 'rigid' policy
We reporter earlier this year how St Damian's RC Science College, in Ashton, Tameside, was under fire for refusing to allow girls to wear trousers.
The complaint from the mum-of-one, who asked not to be identified, followed a tweet from comedian Jenny Eclair, who joined a discussion about the issue of females wearing trousers and said it wasn't until 1995 that her sister was able to wear them at work. The pupil's mum, from Oldham, said: "It's nearly 30 years on and girls are still forbidden from wearing trousers to school. It really makes me angry.
Whereas previously it said 'black trousers ', it now says 'black full length school uniform trousers '.The mum who made the initial complaint said her daughter, who has always been allowed to wear trousers for primary school, would be pleased about the decision.
