Schoolgirls Banned From Wearing Skirts At Walkwood Church of England Middle School

Walkwood Church of England Middle School in Redditch is believed to be the first in England to stop pupils under the age of 13 from wearing skirts

Headteacher David Doubtfire said some of the older pupils were "beginning to wear extremely short skirts".
"It was becoming difficult, especially when it came to them sitting down in the school hall," he explained. "It was very unladylike. We would ask them to make their skirts longer, but they would just roll them up again when we turned away."
