AIBU to send my boys to school in shorts next week?

I have 2 DS, aged 5 and 7. I have celarly been feeding them too much as they have both shot up in height over the past month or two, and their school trousers have taken on a rather cropped look...

I have already got school trousers for them in the next size up, but as it is the summer term I am thinking about sending them in shorts. I like them to have new trousers when they go back in September (I know this an irrational reason, but humour me) and if they go to school in shorts this term I can save their next size up trousers for then. Also the new school trousers are slightly too long just yet (they are both at that annoying in between size point) and so would need taking up slightly.

Have tried the shorts on them and they look lovely, in that Just William kind of way...

However, it is only April. It snowed here last week. Will my neighbours phone Social Services if I send them out in shorts?

I do not think that there are any problems sending kids in school with shorts. It should be the norm that school kids are waering shorts the year round.
This is healthy, good for toughening and character building.

Hmm are you playing thread bumping games?
