The headteacher of a school in Darlington has defended her choice to send a letter to parents asking them to stop wearing pyjamas on the school run.
Kate Chisholm has said despite all the media attention, she would send the letter again for the sake of improving standards at the school.
I can't tell people how to dress and I would never dream of trying to.
However, I think some things need to be said whether parents agree with me or not.
I feel it got to a point where for the sake of school improvement and the outcomes of the children I had to say something.
At the end of the day I would still send that letter because I do believe in reinforcing children's life chances."
Parent Karen Routh ignored the primary school's appeal to parents to wear "day clothes" when they bring their children to school.
