My school are trying to introduce a new dress code for sixth form, one which would be unsuitable for a performing arts school and would make school life more expensive and uncomfortable. I attended a uniform consultation with 20 or so other students, expecting them to ask our opinion of a change to the dress code. However, we were simply told that the governors want us in suits and that we were there to discuss colours and cost and so on. There was uproar in the room, and we had a petition with over 200 signatures from the sixth form opposed to the change, but it was completely disregarded.
Which is why I am asking if you would sign this online petition, because we have tried to get our opinions noted but failed. The headteacher said that if there were 600 people opposing the change he would reconsider his decision. It is not only the change to the dress code that we are appealing but the way we were treated at the meeting, it's disheartening when the head of sixth form just laughs off your serious comments about something you care about. This is something that means a lot to me because I feel the students are being overlooked, and we are the ones who will have to wear the new uniform.Please sign this petition now - http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/glenthorne-high-school-say-no-to-a-stricter-6th-form-dress-code?share_id=XEWgwgXfnA&utm_campaign=friend_inviter_chat&utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=share_petition&utm_term=permissions_dialog_false
Just because I feel like we don't get listened to enough and it's time to act.
