Parents asked not to wear pyjamas on school run
The headteacher of a primary school in Darlington has written to parents asking them to 'dress appropriately' when dropping their children off.
'Getting children to school is priority', says 'pyjama parent'
Our reporter Tom Sheldrick has told us that at Skerne Park Academy, in Darlington, there are differing opinions from parents this morning regarding the pyjamas debate.
Some say they'd never wear pyjamas, they agree with headteacher who sent out a letter on the subject.
Others say it's 'each to their own' and some say the letter has painted the community in a bad light.
No pyjamas were spotted there this morning until one parent arrived wearing hers.
When asked about it, she said she was running late, that she doesn't normally wear them, and added that getting her daughter to school is her priority. She does not agree that it sets a bad example.
