A school has backtracked and allowed pupils to wear shorts in the heatwave after a skirt protest. Ysgol Bro Dinefwr in Llandeilo said it will allow pupils to come to lessons in PE kit shorts.
Year nine pupil Oscar Ralph, 13, went in to the school yesterday wearing his sister’s uniform skirt saying it was too hot to wear trousers. He said he liked school but couldn’t concentrate “sweating” in trousers as soaring temperatures remain in the twenties.
Headteacher Mr Eirian Davies told parents last night that he had changed the rules. He confirmed in a statement on Friday, June 16:“With the weather now warming we will be monitoring the situation in classes and across the school to ensure temperatures are comfortable for everyone. We have today allowed pupils the option of wearing their PE kit and will notify parents of any further changes in good time.” To get our free daily briefing on the biggest issues affecting the nation, Wales Matters here
