My DD is due to start primary school in September. I have been reading through the school's info pack, and I am really surprised (and hacked off) that the school specifies for winter school uniform, girls must wear a skirt & tights, and not trousers.
Is this normal? It seems so unnecessary. I can't really put into words how I feel, as it is pretty late, but it seems to be reinforcing gender stereotypes.
I am considering raising the issue with the head teacher, but would appreciate any views.

Girls not allowed to wear trousers to school? I thought we were in the 21st century?
