Boys are wearing skirts to school in the heatwave in protest at schools’ “no shorts” policies. With temperatures in the high twenties this week they said they had been sweltering in uniform black trousers.
Not being allowed to wear shorts, they have gone into lessons in skirts, which are part of the school uniform, to stay cooler. Oscar Ralph, 13, went into Ysgol Bro Dinefwr in Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire, wearing one of his sister Lottie's grey school uniform skirts today (June 15) saying no-one minded and it was easier to work without "constantly sitting in trousers."

Boys at Ysgol Maes y Gwendraeth, in Llanelli, also went in wearing skirts. Levi Smith, 15, said it was too hot to concentrate wearing trousers and he was sitting important year 10 GCSE exams.
