A mum criticised a school's "outrageous" uniform policy after her daughter came home 'dripping in sweat'.
The girl, a pupil at Sale High School in Sale, Trafford, told her mum she had not been allowed to take her blazer off and that only a few teachers allowed pupils to remove them in class, with others saying it was school policy to wear them at all times. The mum, who did not want to be named, said her daughter returned home feeling ill when the weather was particularly hot.
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News, she urged schools to drop the strict rule. The parent said: "As a health worker myself I think it's disappointing that schools aren't taking the children's health seriously. I think it's outrageous that children across the UK are having to wear blazers in schools with temperatures expected to reach highs of 27 degrees.
