No skirting school ban
From correspondents in London
June 21, 2004
A SECONDARY school has banned girls from wearing skirts because too many were wearing them indecently short.
The school is thought to be the first in the UK to take the extraordinary step of forcing female students to wear only trousers.
Explaining the ban, George Thomas, head teacher of Kesgrave High School near Ipswich, Suffolk, said: "Some girls wear really short skirts, not helped by the fact that not many practical skirts are stocked by shops."
"Many of our pupils cycle to school, and some of the things the girls wear are not suitable for this."
From September, girls at Kesgrave High will have a choice of two styles of dark-blue trousers.
The father of a 15-year-old girl said: "It's an extreme measure but I can see their point. But surely they could enforce a regulation skirt rather than ban them."
