I think am boys should be allowed to wear short in this heat.

Dawn Dawn Brittain (Stockport, 2023-06-14)

The arbitrary rule is ridiculous

Meg Hill (Stockport, 2023-06-14)

#7

I think boys/girls should be able to wear shorts as part of the school uniform!

Ella Hounslow (Stockport, 2023-06-14)

#8

Ridiculous! All students regardless of gender should have the right to wear trousers, shorts or a skirt.

Molly Iddon (Stockport , 2023-06-14)

#11

A ridiculous rule which impacts children’s health and safety. Shorts should be allowed.

Andrea Hodkinson (Stockport, 2023-06-14)

#12

It's not right to force boys wearing trousers with hot weather. We should have moved on from this ridiculous policy!

Maria Matos (Cheadle, 2023-06-14)

#14

All children have the right to dignity
Skirts don't give dignity to girls in school and neither will they to boys
That's why girls choose to wear trousers so both girls and boys have the right to wear shorts as long as they are within school guidelines eg PE shorts, smart black or grey shorts

Cath Downs (Stockport, 2023-06-14)

Boys should be able to wear shorts in this weather. This is ridiculous

Millie Wright (Manchester, 2023-06-14)

#19

Why should boys not be allowed to wear short

Carla Evans (Stockport, 2023-06-14)

#20

I am signing this petition quite simply because it makes sense. The wearing of shorts will not have a detrimental effect on the child’s learning if anything it would enhance it as the child would be more comfortable, less irritable and thus able to concentrate more.

Shirley Bluff (Stockport, 2023-06-14)

#21

I have a son in year 8 who is struggling in this heat and I think he would be more comfortable wearing shorts

Rachel O’Halloran (Stockport, 2023-06-14)

#23

It’s way too hot

donna Syddall (Hazel grove , 2023-06-14)

#27

It's not OK to not allow shorts in the hot weather.

Helen Stevenson (Stockport, 2023-06-14)

#28

It’s far too hot for boys to wear long trousers and I cannot see many boys wearing skirts. That’s a bit ridiculous why can they not wear shorts?

Margaret Galloway (Stockport, 2023-06-14)

#30

Boys should be able to wear shorts in this heat! Giving them a skirt as an alternative is disgusting!

Lauren Warburton (Stockport, 2023-06-14)

#31

There is no valid reason why shorts can’t be made a part of the uniform for both boys and girls.
Improving comfort for students will help them to concentrate better in class ultimately improve academically.
All pupils should have the right to be comfortable in their school uniform during all seasons, regardless of their gender.

Jourdan Iddon (Stockport, 2023-06-14)

#33

I think the boys should have be able to wear shorts my son has come home 3rd day in a row not feeling well and sick because he's over dressed and too hot in school.

Katie Kay (Stockport, 2023-06-14)

#35

Hghs policy is a joke !

scott wilson (Stockport, 2023-06-14)

#36

It's common sense!

Francesca Newton (Stockport, 2023-06-14)

#37

if boys can’t wear shorts then girls shouldn’t be aloud to wear skirts

Helene mcnay (stockport , 2023-06-14)

#39

I believe boys should be able to wear shorts in this hot weather, if the girls can wear short skirts, why can't boys wear shorts! I hope this petition wins.

Laura Bennett (Stockport , 2023-06-14)

#43

It is ridiculous not to be able to wear shorts in wam weather!

Samantha Earwaker (Derby, 2023-06-14)

#44

Equality among both boys and girls is important, and boys shouldn't have to wear full trousers in extreme heat. Focus should be on classwork rather than feeling uncomfortably hot.

Louise Gardiner (Sto , 2023-06-14)

#46

Ludicrous rule - shorts should be allowed to be worn in summer months regardless of gender.

Hazel Cheshire (Manchester, 2023-06-14)

#48

I think it’s absolutely outrageous that a boy is able to wear a skirt but not shorts!! Surely shorts would be more practical all round than a bloody skirt!!

Jodie Burns (Stockport , 2023-06-14)

#49

It doesn’t make any sense

Emma Green (Macclesfield , 2023-06-14)

#50

You can even wear tailored shorts in offices now, schools need to roll with the times.
My son wears shorts in the snow so this heat and trousers is awful for him. Children cannot concentrate in school when they are too hot (teacher here so I know) so expecting them to wear trousers is inappropriate and unfair.

Rachel Kay (Stockport, 2023-06-14)

#51

It’s a basic human right.

Louise Cox (Stockport , 2023-06-14)

#52

I feel that it is wrong to punish children for wearing shorts in hot weather.

Jacqueline Hills (Stockport, 2023-06-14)

#53

It’s not fair on the boys it’s far to hot and makes them feel poorly black shorts would be perfectly fine

Laura Tobin (Stockport , 2023-06-14)

#56

I agree that pupils should be able to wear school shorts in hot weather.

Amanda Truman (Stockport , 2023-06-15)

#57

My eldest son had just sat his GCSEs in high temperatures wearing trousers and being uncomfortable. My youngest starts at HGHS in September. His junior school allows smart school uniform colour shorts to be worn, so not sure why the high school can't adopt the same rule. They would have happier students who are more willing to learn if they are comfortable.

Nicola Hunt (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

#58

Its too hot for trousers. Not all girls like skirts, shorts should be an option in this heat for both sexes.

Katharine Shaw (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

#59

Ridiculous while the teachers walk round in summer dresses

Andy OHalloran (Stockport , 2023-06-15)

#61

I believe in extreme warm weather boys should be allowed to wear shorts. To aid their comfort and reduce risk of heat stroke. Kids will engage better with work if they are comfortable!

Rachel Campbell (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

#62

It is unfair to expect children to behave and perform when they’re uncomfortable and overheated.

Ashleigh Martin (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

#65

I'm signing because, it is unfair that children are not allowed to wear shorts in this hot weather.

Lisa Broady (Manchester , 2023-06-15)

#66

The no shorts ruling is unfair, it discriminates male pupils and is a health and safety issue (and possibly a behavioural one) in very warm weather which we are predicted to have more of

gaynor burgess (Stockport , 2023-06-15)

#68

Totally agree with this. My son is in Y7, hates the heat and is absolutely baking. The kids should all be allowed to wear shorts - whether that’s PE kit or smart shorts like he used to in junior school.

Kath Breslin Burn (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

#69

I agree that shorts should be allowed in the hot weather. Being too hot makes you uncomfortable, lethargic and unable to concentrate

Carla Shepley (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

#70

It makes no sense to intentionally make children's school experience uncomfortable.
Heatwaves in UK? Make a sensible decision and exception

Karen Heywood (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

#73

This country is a joke

Gemma Reeves (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

#74

I think any child should be able to choose to wear shorts in the very hot weather.

My daughter chooses not to wear a skirt therefore wears trousers, so why not be able to wear shorts in summer. Some of the girls skirts are actually shorter than shorts anyway!

El Robinson (Manchester , 2023-06-15)

#75

For health reasons.

Alexandra Moss (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

#77

The emasculation of boys is a worrying consistent in schools and the fact that many allow them to wear skirts but not shorts reinforces this. The feminists really are running the circus 🤡 To deprive young boys of their basic identity is harmful and abusive, is it any wonder theirs grades are slipping year on year with a basic need to be comfortable during the warmer weather denied them, exactly at the time of year exams are sat. It’s almost like this is all intentional. Abhorrent!

Paul Vesty (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

#78

Utterly ridiculous Boys aren't allowed to wear shorts when we see girls in skirts. Needs rectifying asap. Laughable policy.

Matt Hurst (Congleton , 2023-06-15)

#79

Pupils should be allowed to wear shorts to school. Female students are allowed to wear skirts with no tights, however, male students are made to wear long trousers which will result in them overheating and being unable to concentrate properly in class.
Female students should also have the option to wear school shorts if they do not feel comfortable wearing a skirt.
The options for school uniform should be increased to include all students preferences whilst making them comfortable in differing weather conditions.

Charlotte Coles (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

#80

My grandson and friends are absolutely melting and to be told to wear a skirt is absolutely disgusting this is intimidation for normal boys .

Gillian Garnsworthy (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

Females can wear skirts and pants
Males can only wear pants
Equally at its finest

James Royle (Stockport , 2023-06-15)

#83

I live in the Far Northern tropics of Cairns Far North Queensland Australia and all the kids both in school and out of school wear nothing but shorts.

So how can anyone including schools officials seriously stop anyone from wearing shorts in hot whether or even cold weather for that matter if that is what they want. For someone to say its ok for boys to wear a skirt instead of shorts is nothing more than a deviate sick minded person and should be sacked and removed from anything to do with children…

This sort of draconian dictatorship has to stop…

Phillip Whykes (White rock, 2023-06-15)

#84

The teachers are allowed to wear appropriate clothing for the weather. It is not commonplace in society for male genders to wear skirts.

Diane McIlhagga (STOCKPORT, 2023-06-15)

#85

It shouldn’t even be up for discussion hot weather wear shorts if you want to

Mark Newbould (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

#87

It is despicable to not allow children to wear comfortable, suitable clothing during hot weather.

Both boys and girls will benefit from wearing shorts during the summer and should be allowed to continue their education in comfort.

Molly Barker (Poynton, 2023-06-15)

#88

I believe that shorts are a comfortable but smart alternative in the warm summer months

Yvette Robinson (Stockport , 2023-06-15)

#92

Why would you not allow boys to wear smart school shorts in the warmer months? They should be allowed to wear comfortable clothing so that school is a more pleasant experience and they can concentrate on learning

Krystyna Chesters (Cheshire, 2023-06-15)

#94

Boys should be allowed to wear shorts

Anna Hayton (Stockport , 2023-06-15)

#95

This shouldn’t even need a petition!

Sam Snelson (Hazel Grove, 2023-06-15)

#96

Boys should have the option of trousers or shorts

Gemma Luty (Knutsford, 2023-06-15)

#98

I totally disagree with the decision to ban shorts and promote boys wearing skirts. Both genders should be able to wear shorts if they want to in the hot weather. I remember not being able to wear trouser in the winter at Poynton High, I was always freezing. You should be able to wear weather appropriate clothing regardless of gender. This decision to push boys into wearing skirts seems perverted. I'm not saying they should not be able to wear skirts if they wish as an option in the hot weather should they feel comfortable doing so. But to ban shorts and promote skirts is obsurd.

Isabella O'Mahony (East Sussex , 2023-06-15)

It’s an absolutely ridiculous rule! Let them wear shorts in this weathers

Joanne Thompson (Hazel Grove, 2023-06-15)

#100

It's not on in this heat wearing pants

Lorna Ryan (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

#102

My son will be attending this school later and in this heat we would not cope wearing trousers
Why make them uncomfortable when you want them to work makes no sense

Fiona Mulligan (Manchester , 2023-06-15)

#103

It is absolutely ridiculous to not allow the children to wear shorts, it is also utterly bizarre that you are telling them they can wear a skirt

Louise Edwards (Stockport , 2023-06-15)

#104

Because it is morally wrong that boys shouldn’t be allowed shorts and expected to wear a skirt in hot weather ,

Girls should also have options to wear shorts and long pants if they wish .

Frankly the head teacher and governors need to let boys be boys and dress appropriately for weather that’s that .

Lloyd Cooper (Poynton, 2023-06-15)

#105

Children should have the right to be able to wear grey shorts in these extreme weather conditions we are having. My grandson starts at this school in September and does not want to wear a skirt !

Anita Luty (Hazel Grove, 2023-06-15)

#107

It’s an insane ruling

Mandie Hart (Ramsbottom, 2023-06-15)

Shariah Almas (Manchester, 2023-06-15)

#111

This affects my grandson. I take it that this rule also applies to all staff?. As for the comment from the head of year!. It’s frightening that these people are teaching our children!!.

Alan Shepley (Buxton , 2023-06-15)

#119

I think it is frankly appalling that young boys are being told that they cannot
wear shorts in this weather, and yet skirts are permitted. It makes no logical sense whatsoever.

Trudy Wilbraham (Staffordshire , 2023-06-15)

#121

Anyone should be able to wear short just as anyone should be able to wear skirts. Not allowing this is discrimination.

Etheridge Heather (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

I think boys should be allowed to wear shorts in the summer. It’s ridiculous that they have to wear black pants, especially when black attracts heat. #lettheboyswearshorts

Keeley Charlie Birtles (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

#136

Uniform has no correlation to learning. It is ridiculous to not allow boys to wear shorts in this weather but allow them to wear skirts.

Suzie Brown (Chesterfield , 2023-06-15)

TAYLOR GILLON (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

School rules with uniform are ridiculous and make no sense and quite often prevent learning. Shorts for boys is not unreasonable and will not have any impact on learning

Rebecca Gregory (Stockport , 2023-06-15)

#159

What a ridiculous thing to tell boys to wear a skirt,never heard anything so stupid,what is the problem with good old fashioned shorts.
I bet the schools wouldnt agree to let a boy wear a skirt in other circumstances,such as having gender issues.
The world has gone mad

Susan Hampson (Hyde, 2023-06-15)

#160

It’s ludicrous in this weather to keep any child in stifling conditions. Are the staff adhering to a similar uniform policy as the children?

Claire Pickering (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

Absolutely ridiculous pathetic world we are making

Julie-Ann Anderson (Aldershot, 2023-06-15)

I’m signing as my son is currently at Marple Hall School who have the same no shorts policy. How can this draconian and outdated policy be conducive to learning?

Claire McCann (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

Boys need to wear shorts in summer

Zoe Irving (Hull, 2023-06-15)

#176

I believe the school is wrong not allowing boys to wear shorts in this weather. They have PE shorts as part of the school uniform why can’t they wear them in extreme weather like we have at the moment,

Yvonne Hickman (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

#179

As a teacher and a mother, I absolutely cannot see the sense in not allowing children to wear a cooler option to school during the summer months. There is absolutely no good reason not to allow tailored school shorts as an option instead of skirts or trousers.

Stef Rigby (Stoke on Trent , 2023-06-15)

#180

The rule is ridiculous

Stephanie Lee (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

#182

This is ridiculous when it is hot they need to be able to wear shorts and it should be their decision shirts or skirt

Samantha Kitteridge (Stockport , 2023-06-15)

#183

It's ridiculous not to let boys wear shorts! Why should girls be able to dress appropriately and boys can't?

Lauren Worthington (Stockport , 2023-06-15)

Stuart Heywood (Stockport, 2023-06-15)

In this sort of high temperature weather children should be allowed to wear the appropriate clothing for the conditions, you wouldn't stop them wearing a coat in winter!

Paul Jepson (Stockport , 2023-06-15)

#191

Young people need to be able to concentrate. When the weather is very hot it will distract them from their studies. It can make you dizzy and some even pass out. Boys mostly don’t want to wear skirts so why not use common sense and let them wear shorts.

Lorna Dean (Wilmslow, 2023-06-15)

#192

I have kids in this age group

Paul Kiernan (Poynton , 2023-06-16)

#194

I’m signing because the idea that boys can’t wear shorts but are free to wear skirts is ludicrous! How is that fair? There is a heatwave and there should be an exception so children feel as comfortable as possible in the heat. If children aren’t comfortable they will not learn to their full potential. Staff are able to adjust their working attire so they feel more comfortable in the heat so children should also be given the right to do this too and many boys will not want to or feel happy wearing a skirt.

Becky Worsley (Stockport , 2023-06-16)

#197

Boys should be allowed to where shorts for school on this heat .. Girls get a choice between skirt or trousers
