A group of teenage boys wore skirts to school in protest at their school’s ban on shorts amidst heatwave throughout the UK.
Adrian Copp, 15, led a dozen of his fellow Year 10 pupils at Poltair School in St Austell, Cornwall to make a stand against the school’s ‘outdated uniform policy’ by wearing skirts to class.Despite temperatures soaring above 30C this week, the secondary school’s rules don’t allow pupils to wear shorts, however do allow pupils of any gender to wear skirts.
“I found it a lot cooler definitely. It’s really uncomfortable wearing trousers in this heat,” said Copp. “We just want everyone to have the option to wear shorts in this heat and that goes for the girls too.”The secondary school’s uniform guide reads: “Students must wear plain black tailored trousers made of standard material that sit at the waist and shoe line. These must be of a style that is complementary of a blazer. Skirts must be pleated and sit no higher than a credit cards width above the knee.
She added: “When he went to primary school he would wear shorts no problem. But for some reason it hasn’t been allowed in secondary schools.
