FWIW, my ultra-conservative all-male public school didn't permit either shorts or skirts back in the 1970s. I don't remember the Mail being up in arms about that at the time, or anybody giving a tulip really.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Makes you think that the purveyors of our morals have some kind of agenda
So it's not really news worthy, but it would make sense for the boys to be able to wear shorts rather than skirts.Comment

So, applying the analytical skills that are so lacking in gammon, this is what happened:
“I made some changes and introduced a more formal school uniform,” Miss Green[headteacher] told us.
Before, students could wear polo shirts and hoodies and there was not a specific footwear policy.
I’m frustrated that we’re working to improve Chiltern Edge and that people are talking about whether boys can wear skirts”
We want to raise standards and ensure pupils do well, pass their exams, and go on to become what they want to be. I think a formal school uniform is part of that.
I’m frustrated that we’re working to improve Chiltern Edge and that people are talking about whether boys can wear skirts.
I do not have an agenda. My only aim is to see pupils achieve. I haven’t said wear skirts”.
Alastair Vince-Porteous[parent at the school], from Caversham, told the paper:
“I wanted to try to make him a bit cooler and the shorts would help with that but I was told shorts are not part of the uniform.
I know that in the past boys at other schools have worn skirts so I asked if he would be able to do that if he wanted and they said ‘yes’.
I would have said "yes" too because the parent is obviously a moron.Hard Brexit now!
