A secondary school is facing a backlash from parents after introducing new uniform rules which mean boys can wear either trousers or skirts in hot weather – but not shorts.
The policy change at Wymondham High Academy – based in Norfolk – followed complaints that boys were being forced to wear trousers in the summer months – regardless of the hot weather.
Parents were calling for a relaxation in the rules which would allow boys to wear shorts instead.
However, after a consultation, the school made the controversial decision to bring in a “gender neutral” policy, meaning boys had the choice of only skirts in the summer.
