 The Situation
Mrs Neave has decided to make the FULL school uniform of
Black Shoes, Black socks, Dark Grey/Black Trousers, White T-
shirt and Blue Jumper/Cardigan compulsory. This means no
trainers, no braclets, no skirts and no funky socks! If the rule is
broken, a £10 will have to be paid to Mrs Neave.
Here are her reasons why:-
• No uniform makes the children look ‘untidy’.
•She’s fed up with children complaining about tearing their new
clothes on the yard.
•It makes the children look identical and tidy.

What is your opinion? Let’s hear it!
