A mother was angry with her daughter's school after the youngster was sent home because her trousers were believed to be too tight by teachers.Teachers at Barnsley Academy,South Yorkshire,have been lining up pupils and measuring their trouser width with a ruler if they don't look appropriate.
The school introduced a strict uniform policy just after Christmas and it has made some parents and pupils angry.On its website Barnsley Academy states trousers must be at least 10 cm wide and says smart,tailored,plain,black school trousers of waist height to ankle length are to be worn.A spokesperson for the school said,“The academy has a strict uniform policy which parents and students are fully aware of and which is being properly carried out.All students are expected to adhere to the policy.Our uniform policy here at Cardinal Newman Catholic School is well established and we are simply reminding students of the policy as they come back to start a new term.”
Jane Ogden,36,the mother of Ellie,14,and Mollie Young,12,who both study in the school,is one of the parents less than impressed with the rule.Her daughter Ellie was stopped from going to school between Monday and Wednesday last week for her trousers being too tight,even though,she claims,they were 13 cm wide.Ellie was not alone when she was given such orders—19 other girls were also being sent home on the same day.
Mrs Ogden,who spent£72 on trousers for her seven children at the start of the year,said teachers were going too far.She said,“The school said that it was a changing problem and that they needed to show the children how to be respectful.I pride myself on my children giving me respect but I think we should respect them as well.”The school has thought these trousers suitable.Mrs Ogden said,“Ellie is in year 10,so it's an important GCSE(普通中等教育证书)year in her education and now she has to catch up with work.”
