One, if not more of Sir Thomas Wharton policies needs to be reviewed, in particular with regards to school uniform.

The policy states that no hoodies, denim, fur and leather jackets are allowed; this is however unclear as to what it actually means!?

They have put children in isolation for simply having a fur lined hood?! It also states that no outdoor clothing is allowed in school and will be confiscated as it is ‘classed’ NON ACADEMY WEAR!

The school should not be able to dictate what coats children should be wearing or any clothing for that matter other than the school uniform as advised.

This is having a negative effect on the education of many students and more teaching time away from the classroom. During the past 18 months our children have suffered massively and have dealt with things they should never have to deal with at such a young age in which you would think education establishments would consider when writing the policies of the school.

This particular policy has mislead many students, parents/guardians and carers and is effecting the education of many children who attend Sir Thomas Wharton as they are having to spend time in isolation which is not only removing them from an educational setting but also from the support of their teachers and peers in learning.

Please help support our children and their Education.
