school uniform.......
- Thread starter panther
- Start date
ive always had to pay tax on my daughters clothes because she cant fit in the clothes that are meant to fit!!
, its not fair!!
Im spitting mad uniform buying is bad enough but Mount Carmel think people are bloody rich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Only Mount Carmel has the strictest expensive uniform policy i have ever seen, just threw a stroppy in Abbey street over price of skirts twice as much as the others because of the trutex name!!!!!!
Not happy & will keep trying the uniform policy officer @ the education authority before i buy them! Simply not on that a head teacher can dictate uniform down to one particular trutex make as well!!!!!!!!!!!
Pot seriously calling kettle black there, after seeing their prices maybe they should take the lead & drop them 1st
I'm pretty sure that not all pupils adhere to uniform dress code, don't blame you for being angry. My grand-daughter goes to Hollins and they pulled her up last year for wearing earrings(she had just had her ears pierced), my daughter went to the school and pointed out that she couldn't possibly be the only child there wearing earrings but they still had to be removed. While I know that this is school policy I think that everybody should have to follow the rules and that means on everything.

Just update - got in touch with uniform policy officer @ lancs education authority & basically I dont have a leg to stand on - the school can say & do what they want with uniform policy as its a church school!!
So basically if my daughter wears another make of skirt then ther school can send her home or even exclude till appropiate uniform stipulated is worn
How blumming crap is that, so the whole point of affordable uniform cos that is what it was invented for goes out the window!!! I sincerely hope they apply that for her education rather than the uniform or does that explain the poor results for that school. Me thinks the school is getting some form of handout or grant/bung or whatever, cos why else would it be so stringent without any flexiblity.

Unfortunately its sods law that the nortorious groups wont be pulled up & mine will, shes already worried about being sent home if i get her alternatives to the schools wishes - so im hanged by both sides now
Who'd be a parent these days

I wouldn't like to be in your shoes, glad I don't have to worry about things like that now. I know where you are coming from though the move up to senior school is nerve wracking enough, so it is understandable that your daughter is concerned about being sent home. As you say you don't have any choice and will just have to go with the schools policy on this one. Just sticks in the throat when not all people doUnfortunately its sods law that the nortorious groups wont be pulled up & mine will, shes already worried about being sent home if i get her alternatives to the schools wishes - so im hanged by both sides now

I am so glad that mine are NOT going to a church school
I went to Paddock House in 1954. At the time there was only 1 tailor for the school, J.B.Smith of Union Rd., and you had no choice.
I can remember going to be measured, then fitted, for 2 navy blue pinafore dresses, 2 cream shirts, a cardigan, tie, navy blue overcoat and velour hat. The dresses, shirts and coats were all hand stitched and the bill was enormous.
When we went into the 3rd form we had to have brown coats, again hand stitched, and those dreadful mortar-boards. We also had a totally different Summer uniform of blue and white striped dresses, navy blazers (yep, hand stitched) and panama hats. Even the PE clothes were "unique", blue aertex shirt and brown pleated cullottes, and we had to have hockey sticks, pads and boots, plimsolls and tennis rackets.
Over the years my mother paid a fortune to have me looking absolutely awful. Just be thankful things have changed as much as they have.

Have they said why they're insisting on a particular brand? Why do they have to be Trutex?

They have just insisted it because of quality & that the uniform is to be top notch in order of presenting the school in appearance
- well thats the splurge we're told anyway lol
