That's unusual. Most schools would include shorts in the uniform as well as skirts. Not sure what the logic is.

All pupils may also wear shorts if they should wish to do so.

That's all they would need to add. Head teacher seems like a complete idiot.

Truly impaired.

Not sure they would stand on them but rather wear them.

Shouldn't Wymondham High be capitalised, as it's the name of the school, so therefore a proper noun?



You'd expect an educational establishment to get that right, wouldn't you?

Careful drafting is required, however. "Also wear shorts" might be taken to indicate that skirts and shorts together are permitted, but not shorts on their own ;)

The logic seems clear.

They recognise that they are in difficulty saying no to skirts for boys on discrimination grounds. However, they can retain a ban on shorts, and work on the basis that very few boys will actually wear skirts and, if they do, it will eb ashort lived novelty. hence preserving their completely arbitrary status quo whilst paying lip service to the idea of equality.

“But it is Norfolk “

I imagine a skirt is easier to slip on than shorts if you have webbed feet.

You certainly have to be careful with draughts if not used to wearing a skirt.

Does the school have a sizeable percentage of boys of Scottish descent?

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

Can only imagine how confused the headmaster would be if he learned that in Australia, girls wear these thing called skorts (skirt/shorts).
