Girls at Moulton School and Science College in Northamptonshire will be forced to wear black tailored trousers instead of skirts (file photo)
Skirts have been banned at a school because the head teacher said girls have repeatedly breached rules by wearing them above the knee.
Instead, from September, students at Moulton School and Science College in Northamptonshire will be forced to wear black tailored trousers.
Headteacher Trevor Jones said he has taken the radical decision in order to fight the ‘over-sexualisation’ of children.
If they fail to obey the new rule, pupils will be given second-hand clothing to wear for the day or sent home to get changed.
Mr Jones said he had seen girls coming into school with skirts halfway up their thighs or even higher.
He added: ‘Some of them would be more appropriate in a nightclub than in a classroom.’
‘I think there is massive pressure with girls and image.
‘School should be a place where they can come and not have to worry about that for a few hours and instead concentrate on their learning.’
The existing rules had outlined that girls must wear skirts that were knee-length or below, but he said that this rule had been consistently broken.
He added: ‘The minimum length was proving impossible to enforce, so we are now looking at a total ban.’
‘I have had complaints from a number of parents and some girls are feeling aggrieved but we think this will make the school a safer place.
‘It is another aspect of body image they don’t have to worry about while they are here.’
The new uniform policy at the school also includes a ban on scarves and hats, unless in cold weather. Trousers are not allowed to have any non-black stitching or visible metal buttons (posed by models)
The school’s website states the rule change, adding: ‘School uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of a school and setting an appropriate tone.
‘It can instil pride, support positive behaviour and discipline, encourage identity with the school ethos and protect children from social pressures to dress in a particular way.’
It states that anyone not wearing the correct uniform will be offered second-hand clothing if available or children will be collected by their parents so they can return when correctly dressed.
The new uniform policy at the school also includes a ban on scarves and hats, unless in cold weather.
Trousers are not allowed to have any non-black stitching or visible metal buttons.
Moulton School and Science College is for boys and girls aged 11 to 18 and has around 1,300 pupils.

I drive past a few schools on my way to work. The private schools see girls in uniforms with skirts always at knee length. There is a mix with state schools – those with uniforms look smart but skirt lengths always above knee, sometimes several inches. Other schools without uniforms sees skirts more like belts, some wear hot pants, and low tops – all look very scruffy. At my son’s school a girl who was pulled up about the length of her uniform skirts had her mother on the phone saying that as she had nice legs it was her right to flaunt them. HT is quite right to ban them

Bring back single sex schools, so children can concentrate on their lessons – particularly important during puberty.

The uniform policy at my daughter’s school allowed girls to wear skirts or trousers, so I bought her both. She only wore the skirt on the first day, and came home embarrassed that she had been the only girl wearing one. It transpired that after the choice was introduced it became the norm for girls to wear trousers. Rather than banning skirts, maybe introducing optional trousers would have had the same result at this school, preventing all this fuss. I doubt the DM would make an article out of British schoolgirls choosing to dress modestly, though.

All the schoolgirls round here seem to wear what my wife calls “bum freezers,” barely (yes, pun intended) covering their underwear. Trousers would definitely be an improvement.

This is a very sensible move. We have to admit that society has a problem with the attire some girls go to school in. The rise of picture taking on mobile phones which were sadly allowed into school. Having seen the way some girls are hardly dressed going to school, and wondering what on earth their parents are thinking. The headmaster is taking the welfare of the girls seriously. It’s a far cry from my day in the 60’s when we would have loved to wear trousers in the winter. That pales into insignificance as a gripe when I think of what I would have been at threat of in school today. We might have got chapped knees but we weren’t at risk of Facebook and bullying photo taking, and being humiliated to a wide audience. Yes a few girls rolled their skirts up and were sent home or given a longer skirt from a selection of hand me downs used for emergencies. A few boys were taunting but it wasn’t videoed and posted and prolonged. It was sorted by the Head and we moved on.

So instead they’ll be wearing trousers which are a bit on the tight side round their bottoms – just like some of them do round here.
It really is a daft idea to ban skirts – just enforce a rule about skirt length and tightness of cut around the hips and the problem is solved.

School is for Education and not a fashion parade Skirts should be at a length that covers the knee, some girls I see going to school with silly little skirts like they were going to a cheer leader convention with great lengths of bare WHITE leg on show sorry but it’s not a pretty sight.

Anne, UK, i think we must have been at the same school! We had to kneel down to measure skirt length too and afterwards we would roll them up over our pursebelts. Ah, pursebelts. It is sad that this school has had to take such a drastic measure but I don’t see what harm it will do to have to wear trousers. French schools allow children to wear their own clothes, and so it’s 90% jeans and t-shirts, and I find it odd when I come back to England to see the children in uniform and to see how it makes them stand out so much from the crowd, and yes, how short the girls wear their skirts.

If this man is bothered about girls being “sexualised” why doesn’t he say that skirts have to be knee length.
Does he think that making girls wear trousers is going to be any better. Instead of boys looking at the girls legs they will be looking at their bottoms. And I’m sure some enterprising girls will get the needle and thread out and “adjust” their trousers to suit themselves.

***——–“Why can they not enforce the current rules regarding knee length or longer skirts?
– Islander, Maritimes, Canada”—— Read the article. They tried but failed. They could keep trying – detentions, suspensions, exclusions, moaning parents – but a simple ban will be much easier and less time consuming. Teachers have better things to do than monitor skirt lengths.
