Every school where they have introduced strict school uniform policy, forbidden mobiles in class and maintained a zero policy on bullying or rudeness to teachers, have all begun to excel academically. The children can finally be exactly what they are, school kids. Time for the adults to be in charge.

But with just one quick glance at a child's uniform, you could tell exactly which kids came from struggling families. So I, personally disagree with this point. Respectfully, of course.

But when it was non uniform day, those same kids didn't stand out. They looked no different to any other child. Because, like I said before, you can buy cheap clothes that look good.

If the parents don't want to stick to the uniform code, then they shouldn't sign up to the school.

When i was at school, the uniform was strictly followed. They put out that the uniform was so everyone was the same. No belittling children whose parents could not afford expensive clothes.

We got detention if we weren't in full uniform. But back then we had teachers that caned us. Imagine that now.

If kids can't follow certain rules from childhood then good luck with the future behaviours. All schools should not allow in class kids that do not wear the school uniform. Nothing wrong with that.

At my Roman Catholic school in the 1960’s we girls had to wear skirts that covered our knees, every so often there would be a spot check and we had to kneel down on the floor and our skirts had to touch the floor to prove they covered our knees, if any girls skirt didn’t cover the knees they had to report to the headmistress the next day to be checked again. If they were still wearing a skirt that did not cover their knees they got the strap. We had to wear full school uniform, pleated skirt, white blouse, school tie and blazer, white ankle socks, black leather shoes (patent leather was not allowed) and a hideous beret. We had to wear the beret when travelling to school and going home, woe betide you if a teacher spotted you not wearing it. No Jewellery was allowed except a small crucifix.

It seems weird that this is controversial; this was no different than when I was at school. Too much make up, you were given a wipe and sent to the toilet to take it off, some even got the rulers out to measure the length between skirts and knees, too short and a note would be going home with you.

For me when I was at school 45 years ago I always wore a long sleeve shirt trousers black shoes a tie and a suit jacket I always thought my appearance was important just as my education.

I was very grateful for school uniform - my family's lack of money was not an issue when in uniform.

There are two distinct issues here. Girls wearing makeup and unsuitable clothes, fair enough to clamp down on that. But there is also the issue of totally unfair and unrealistic demands by some schools that uniforms must be bought from very expensive official suppliers and have school logos. As a single mum struggling on a very low income, years ago when the basic uniform cost £200, (nearly 3 times my weekly income) I bought my boys almost identical, but VERY much cheaper, supermarket school clothes minus the logo and the school repeatedly told my boys off. They were getting free school meals, so they knew we were seriously short of cash. There was no school or parent based group making second hand clothes available. I always bought proper school shoes, often on credit card. But in one year alone, my son grew 4 inches. They humiliated my boys because of our poverty. Some schools are absolutely appalling in refusing to recognise how tough it is for some people just to survive. 😡

Happened in my school, exclusion for no proper uniform

Brilliant headmaster, let him be in charge and decide what is best for his community. Uniforms need to be “uniform”, it’s not rocket science. Learning is the focus at school, not fashion and make-up. I hope he does not bend under pressure.

Don't these parents realise, these rules are necessary to enable children to have life skills in later life. The school my son went to was supervised on a daily morning practice to check they were wearing the correct uniform. Unlike alot of other schools he was permitted to wear a dark outer coat to keep him dry, in our ever damp and cold climate, not to mention the rain. There are also children who are unruly, and whatever parents tell them to do, they do the opposite. My heart goes out to these blameless parents!!!!

If you don't like the uniform rules then go to a school that allows it but I don't think you will find many.

I am ‘old school’ and like you, Julia, I agree. They had sufficient warning, they do not have a leg to stand on! The whole point of a school uniform is that the pupils should be uniform and not stand out. Makeup should be a big no-no. Let the girls be proud of who they really are, not their madeup persona.

I had to obey strict uniform rules at my Grammar School. Not wearing our school cap was punishable.

Perfectly reasonable rules. Just young girls inflluenced to tart up it looks so out of place in a school that tries to educate them and so distracting.

We've had several generations whose mothers (fathers when one is still around) try desperately to be friends instead of parents and nobody ever said "no" to them. This is the result. I was a secondary teacher for many years and I never believed in bad kids, just bad parents. Fashion clothes lead directly to bullying.

I give students a detention if they have rolled skirts, or trousers hanging low so underwater showing (yes that boys fashion is back!) Or rolled blazer sleeves, or shirt not tucked, or no tie. Literally every lesson line up my instructions are "blazers on, shirt tucked in, tie on blazer sleeves un rolled, skirts unrolled and trousers pulled up". As a form tutor I tell boys that in the morning they should put the shirt on and pull trousers up over top of shirt, rather than stuff shirt down trousers. And thar is not to mention checking shoes. A constant battle, even when thw school provides shoes or uniform either for day loan, or gives for families with financial difficulties. Parents ring and say the child "will not be borrowing uniform for X,y,z reason ". It is like a losing battle sometimes. And then shout at me for enforcing rules to which my stock response is "don't ask ne to get into trouble by breaking the rules".

Oh dear,he sounds a good headmaster,but called "Ebenezer"?Hes not going get called old Scrooge much is he?

Parents don't parent anymore and think they can do what they want and don't like it when someone says something.

The problem is most schools tell parents they have to get uniforms with the school logos on, can only get them from this certain places and they can be very expensive!

The single supplier uniform schools are a complete racket, and this goes on still!

I was a nightmare in school. Never had the correct uniform or shoes. Was always misbehaving and causing trouble. Now im older and have my own kids i understand why i was like that. I had no respect or pride in my school. I didnt feel positively connected to it in anyway. It was somewhere i was forced to go and didnt want to be. When i played golf as a kid i was the complete opposite! I respected the dress code and the rules. I took real pride in my appearance and really respected the club. That was because i felt apart of the club and i was truly proud to represent it and wear the badge. Schools are failing kids. They dont instil pride or passion into the kids. They dont instil confidence or self respect. Kids are bored at school and bored kids will always rebel and create their own entertainment even if its got a negative outcome for them.

When a child starts school the child and parents are given a contact to sign agreeing to the school rules.

Parents need to stop whining about useless things. Uniforms are there for a reason to keep everyone on an even par. Those struggling can’t afford to dress their children on expensive clothes every day are happy to put their children in uniforms and if they’re on benefits or low income they get help. The more wealthy parents who can afford all that expensive stuff, stop using your kids to flaunt it. I struggled to raise 7 children on my own as a single parent and many’s a time my boys would put plastic bags on their feet before putting their holy shoes on in winter. So seriously, stop griping about how you have to fall in with school policies and worry more about teaching your kids some respect for their teachers and headmasters/ headmistresses

I totally agree with you Julia

If the school has a uniform policy and the students don't follow it, the student doesn't gets in, end of story,

As a teacher, I always found parents really keen to send their children to a uniformed school because it gave the sense of order and discipline and learning ....................... except for their child who should be allowed to wear what they want. Hypocrisy is off the chart!!!!!!!

That's long overdue and should be done all through the United Kingdom.

Children need something to rebel against- but I’m surprised the parents do? If they’re rebelling against black shoes then they’re not rebelling by going around with a machete and bandana 🫢

It was quite easy to tell the poor kids in summer at my school. The dresses made by the school tailors were a different colour to the fabric you bought to make your own

If you don't follow dress code, then ban those children from attending

I attended school between 1993 and 1998 and these rules and where common place then

The Parents can’t read!!! Duh

Saw a girl, probably around 14-15 the other day and she honestly looked like she was auditioning for a part in St Trinians. Ridiculous.

those parents should be disqualified from having the right to send their kids to the school. let them go elsewhere. Uniforms are great. Everyone equal.

There is a high school here in Sydney that the kids don’t have to wear uniforms, it was mostly the girls who were dressed up as if they were going out to a nightclub not to school. Some were wearing short dresses that they could barely walk let alone sit down, then the school got a new principal and he put a stop to that.

Blazers with the school badge embroidered on should be stopped. We were given a school badge before we moved up to secondary, to be stitched on by mum who did home economics. Back then we could tell the better off kids because their blazer was more like suit material, whereas those if us not so well off had blazers made from material more like a donkey jacket.

Circa 1965 a boy at my school was sent home to change his red red socks for grey. No one complained pr reached for a lawyer.Well done Bromley Grammar School !!

The headmaster was 100% correct and when you get reckless pupils with no discipline whatsoever, to just arrive at school with make up on, mascara and skirts up to their bums is absolutely disgusting and their parents should not have let them go to school like that in the first place.

I was a science technician in a school for years.When we had strict heads all the pupils complied with the uniform rules which in turn lead to greater discipline in the school.The uniform had an equalizing effect on the pupils When we did own clothes days to raise money for charity (pupils gave a nominal amount, £1 for charity)some pupils would not turn up or wear their uniforms because they didn't have the modern trainers or whatever the latest clothing trend was.Various nasty comments by some pupils such as haven't you got the latest trainers or couldn't you afford the £1 etc.were often heard.

It’s ridiculous the way girls go to school now

School uniforms here are NOT cheap. Quite the opposite. And for the obvious reason that each school has a DIFFERENT uniform, so there is no mass production effect.

Stand strong headmaster.

I am from South Africa and every learner wears a uniform. It takes away class differences and teaches the kids to look neat and tidy. Neat hair and and short nails. It teaches them discipline. As a teacher I was not that strict,but the kids knew exactly what to wear each day and cleanliness,pride of their school and being a young person for a little while before real life kicks in goes a long way!!!!🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

My daughters school insisted on a uniform which you could only buy from special shops. Nothing from a supermarket and this changed once my daughter had started.

At my school, the headmaster was passing by me in the dining room, he tapped me on the head and said "Your hair is touching your collar, get it cut!". We were caned on the hands for more serious breeches of school etiquette and girls who dyed their hair a different colour were sent home and told not to cone back until the colour was corrected. Schools today, seem chaotic by comparison...

Well done Mr Ebenezer 👏

Well done to this headmaster, we need to roll this out nationally. Children need structure and discipline in their lives if they are going to be successful as adults.

Discipline and orderliness is the start to education. First of all you start by the uniform and lack of makeup! These are children and should not be allowed to be sexualized by parents or indeed for the sport of perverts. Children always will push the boundaries, it is for the Head of the School to make sure the parents and children are aware of what are the rules and boundaries of acceptable uniform and make up to be used. Good on this Headmaster, enough of this 'I can wear what I like!' Tough, you don't like it, go elsewhere and fail in your education. Bravo to this Headmaster!

Ignoring these simple rules and getting away with it sets these kids up for disaster

Top man ! Rules are rules for a reason 👍

I worked in my local high school. Only some of the teachers were prepared to enforce the rules. The rest couldn’t be bothered. School is a place of learning. Not a fashion house. Skirts short enough to show off your underwear is a disgusting look at any time.

Typical UK parenting. No wonder we are in such a mess.

Dont forget to sort the scruffy teachers out as well

What's the issue? ......a uniform is a uniform in my day you got a detention for not having your top button done up on your shirt?

My daughter is 12, going on 18 and all of the schools in our town have strict uniform rules much to my daughter's disgust! Until none uniform day which she hates because of the stress, which I would also add still has rules to stop them dressing inappropriately as it is a school and not a fashion parade!

In South Africa, uniforms are non negotiable

As long that the school uniform is fitting for the weather not shorts in the middle of winter etc.

What is the problem!! When young, being brought up in London at an all girl's school, we all had to wear school uniform! There wasn't any competion on what anyone was wearing and it made it easier for the parents!

It’s called discipline, and over time it teaches the children a lot, it adds to teaching respect both of which once learnt shape and add to the character of the individual, we are sadly lacking these qualities in our young as well as our children.

In school, we are briefed about the school rules No make up, no phone, white shoes white sock, skirt at knee level only 1 unbutton from the neck. Hair must be neatly tied up if touching shoulder. We have senior checking on juniors too. We dun care how rich you are or not, the attires must be followed. Students became obedient and follow school rules.

Why don’t teachers wear uniforms so they can be identified
