My DD has just started her first year in school and already her teacher has been complaining about the shoes she's wearing in class and today the Headteacher told us she wants us to get new shoes by Thursday.
The system the school uses consists of outdoor shoes what they turn up in and play outside with (where anything goes) and indoor shoes that follow the uniform code.
According to the uniform code, accepted shoes consist of "Black" Plimsolls (aka sandshoes), Pumps or Court-shoes.
Personally wanting our daughter to look smart in her uniform we opted to buy some nice school shoes which I guess would come under court-shoes, anyway we got them from Sainsbury's for £12 and also have memory foam in them. I believe good supported footwear is important though it is difficult with kid's shoes, I try when I can.
Apparently every other kid in the school wears sandshoes. Probably due to everywhere selling them including the school for something like £3.
So the teacher is complaining that our daughter looks the odd one out and the headteacher agrees. If I was breaking the school uniform code then fair enough (wouldn't have let it happen in the first place), but we're not.
But plenty of other kids break the school uniform code and no one complains/cares. Kids are supposed to wear grey trousers/skirts but more then a few wear black.
