I am after some thoughts and advice please.
Our First and Middle school is amalgamating and will now be called a Primary school with just 1 head teacher instead of the previous 2. The name of the school will remain the same but the school management want to change the school logo as previously there were 2 (one for First school and one for the Middle).
No problems so far.
Well on Friday the kids came out of school all excited that they were going to have a whole new school uniform in a completely different colour scheme and that they had been surveyed to ask which colour they preferred.
This is the first that the parents had heard about this and most people I have spoken to are not happy.
The school is 75yrs old and has always had the same uniform, we are proud of our smart colour scheme and 'proper' shirts, ties and jumpers. The school wants to introduce generic sweatshirts in a colour that 4 other schools in the borough have! We are one of only 2 schools that have bottle green and gold colour scheme.
Our PTA has a shed load of second hand uniform which we sell for school funds and to help lower income families. If the uniform changes this will all have to be chucked!
Can the school do this without consulting the parents?
Is there anything we can do about it?
