Hull school holds uniform sessions ahead of new academic year

In a post on social media, the school outlined its “uniform expectations”, which include trousers and skirts being black, and skirts being the same material as blazers and a pencil-fit style, sitting just above the knee.

Mark said it was a “loads better” idea allowing uniform to be checked in advance.

“If everyone is the same, it teaches you in life you’ve got to have uniforms depending on your job,” he said.

Laura, whose children are also going into Year 7, said she found it helpful to get trousers she had not bought from the school’s official supplier checked.

“It’s fine if you can afford to buy them off the website, but it’s not great when you’ve not got a lot of money,” she said.

“[It] is very helpful that they will approve other trousers and stamp them for you.”
