Do you think schools should relax uniforms policies re hot weather

Going to be 26-31c for the rest of the month. My friend’s DD’s academy has told pupils and parents that they are not allowed to remove blazers in lessons (bar PE).

This is ridiculous. Bet the female teachers are wearing light floaty dresses, skirts and short sleeve tops. Male teachers - short sleeve shirts and a lighter coloured trousers.

Why do schools expect the pupils to wear a blazer?

Yes they bloody well should.
Shorts and t-shirts for everyone.
(I hate uniform in general)

Our school allows the children to come in in PE kit when it's hot. Very sensible.

In 2022 when it got to 40 degrees my daughter's school still insisted the girls had to wear tights, no socks allowed. It was insane!

Yanbu i never understand this. It's dangerous and I just can't see a reason to why they need to keep them on.

Our school has allowed no blazers, but must still wear a jumper!
