School uniform has been a vexed issue for many years. Most people accept that sixth formers (pupils in years 12 and 13) do not wear uniform and there is no falling away of academic achievement as a result.
However the situation at a school “somewhere in Sussex” was that the staff were being expected to wear uniform. From a trade union perspective this is quite straight-forward. The contract of employment did not specify uniform and that contract cannot be arbitrarily altered.
The staff response was very effective. They took to saluting the little Hitler who suggested the change and the individual was embarrassed into dropping the idea.
