Save Grove School Uniform

#18: Mrs G - Re:  

 Yeah students are thought of so highly that's why they are not allowed through the hall no more and have to walk around the building to get to lessons . I bet teachers don't have to go out !!!!!! And student entrance door  is not open in the morning , yet again students are thought off NOT  !!!!!! 

 I am very muchly happy with the way that Grove leadership treat your sons and daughters in your country. Should any of them be displaced, I have very good position for them. 

 This new uniform is awful, the colour of the blazer looks old and faded next to the black trousers. The 'Google '  badge looks rubbish, why change what isn't broken. Why let year 11 design the new uniform when they don't have wear it!! This school has gone downhill..

My children both left the Grove school a few years ago before the introduction of the current uniform. I always commented how smart the black uniform was/is compared to the old sweatshirt/polo shirts that my children used to wear. When the change came, it was lovely to see the children around the town looking so smart but looking at the proposed new uniform, it really does look dire!  Logo looks like it was designed by Google and grey is such an outdated look, really awful. I think the present uniform is perfect, why change?!!  Surely the childrens' vote to keep things as they are counts?

There's absolutely no need for a change of uniform, marking 50 years of the school can be done in many other ways without forcing parents to fork out more money.

I'm not sure how anyone can claim that "most of the students didn't vote for the uniform", how do we know this? Have the results from the vote been posted anywhere? And as for Mrs Taylor, well she seems to have already improved the performance of students during her short time at Grove!

 I agree

Why have the new year 7's not been asked their opinion? They're the ones that will have to wear the new blazer for a whole year while the rest of the school wear the old design. It is daunting enough starting a new school without being segregated by wearing a different uniform to the rest of the school. The fact that it looks cheap and awful will not help.

I was looking forward to getting my daughter her new uniform. I was Googling it when I stumbled across the new design. I felt really dissappointed in it and I feel it will have a negative impact on the experience for all new year 7's.

I agree with other comments on here. Keep the black blazer! Including the option to source own blazer and sew on logo. Why such a drastic change? It's costly, unnecessary and unsightly.

I have 4 children and it will be too expensive to be paying out that sort of money every time they have spurt growth,now you cannot buy it anywhere else cheaper.Also looks awful and not smart at all.The head needs to concentrate on other aspects of the school that needs attention rather than costing parents stupid amounts of money.

 Because Mrs Taylor wanted the grey one she did the vote as a formality what the students want or parents don't come into it with her she needs to go work in a boarding school somewhere
