‘It’s school not Love Island’: readers react to ‘old fashioned’ Horsham school uniform

Holly Valentine hit out at Tanbridge House School in Horsham when she said her daughter was threatened with isolation for wearing the wrong trousers.

Tanbridge House says parents are welcome to contact the school to discuss any concerns, and said parents had been invited to liaise over the uniform changes since April.

But readers have taken to our Facebook pages to discuss whether school uniforms are a good idea.

Rosalie Radburn said: “Many professions require uniforms for practical and safety reasons. School, ultimately, is aiming to prepare children for the world of work and the responsibilities that will be required.

“It is important that these young people they look smart and well presented and uniform.

“School is not supposed to be a reflection of Love Island, Towie or the X-Factor.”
