My DD starts year 7 this year and we have had a nightmare with the school skirt. The school only allows 2 styles which, of course, have to be purchased from the school outfitters. One style was awful and the second style suited her much better. The trouble was they didn't have one long enough in stock but they ordered her a longer one.
The school's uniform policy stresses that skirts for year 7 should be below the knee to allow for growth. My DD is already 5ft 4 and the skirt comes to about an inch above her knee. A friend who's DS already goes to the school said she could get a warning for incorrect uniform.
Should I write her a note for the first day? I've bought the longest skirt in the shop. I'm I worrying over nothing? Maybe they need to be a little more flexible in their choice of skirts. DD doesn't seem worried - she said I'll just tell me it was the longest we could get.
What do you wise MN's think?
