    I think Ugg boots should be compulsory for winter wear, with stripper style sandals for the summer.

    But.....but......but........when would the black plimsolls from ShoeZone be worn?

    This uniform policy is outrageous. Why should naturists be forced to wear clothes ?
  • I thought that the uniform was already polo shirts and didn't include nasty things like blazer and tie.

    And sticky/sweaty Regatta gear - ALWAYS! :rotfl:
  • I'm gonna bite anyway. I must admit I'm dreading buying the school blazer required for both of the secondary schools I've selected for my son. Think the 'no trainer looking' shoes rule is a bit silly. But very glad I'm not going to have to buy £18 special trousers as I did for my older son when he started secondary school.

    What's people's opinion?

    A poster that can use two apostrophes correctly in a three word sentence should not be sneered at.

    I thought it was the child of an obscure family member or similar appendage that had to wear a blazer???

    What a shame you've already made an application. If you'd read these threads you'd know that all the best schools in the best parts of town positively encourage fake Ugg boots from Primark. And to think the government think GCSE results matter to parents! :eek:
