So my 5 yr old daughter asked me if she could have some shorts for school as shes been practicing handstands cartwheels etc and says skirt gets in the way and she doesnt like flashing her underwear i said shouldn't be a problem but i will ask the school just to be sure. Yesterday i phoned the school reception and asked the question to my slight shock i was given the reply girls in skirts and dresses during summer only.... i them asked what about a gigham playsuit and again was told no, but after seeing the news yesterday evening regards to the class of boys turning up to school in skirts to protest not being aloud to wear shorts during these hot summer days i wonder should i send her in shorts anyway who says girls shouldn't be aloud its not really a problem I don't think. I had a read of the schools gender equality policies i would like to see a copy of the uniform policy to see if they match up or are conflicting of each other. What are your thought's would you send your daughter in them anyway?
