Tyne Tees School Uniforms

Mr Bayley has said that the school confiscated the jacket on a number of occasions because it does not meet the school's uniform policy.

The headteacher of one academy has written to parents asking if skirts should stay as part of its uniform in support of the equality and diversity agenda.

Grants worth up to £100 are on offer to Northumberland families to help with the costs of school uniforms and other holiday costs.
