To me - uniform is uniform and Barnsley Academy have always clearly stated what is accetable and what isn't.  Children should wear the correct uniform and keep other clothes for after school.  All part of learning to follow rules.  I agree that whatever they wear doesn't affect their education but where do you draw the line?  Going in casual clothes, having lots of piercings and dressed like punk rockers won't effect their education either - should we allow this?  In my opinion it is either all or nothing.  Schools have rules just like people do at home (well most!).  In just the same way we expect our children to follow our rules at home, schools expect the children to follow their rules at school and parents should support the school in implementing these.
