Parents horrified after school calls uniform store employees to measure length of skirts girl students were wearing
Great Yarmouth Charter Academy had earlier sent out a list of haircuts that were banned, including the now-infamous 'Meet me at McDonald's' haircut
Barry Smith, head teacher of Great Yarmouth Charter Academy, has enraged parents yet again after calling in staff from a school uniform shop to measure pupils' skirts.
The school justified the tactic because some girls were hitching up their skirts above the school-approved knee-length. Smith, who is considered one of the strictest headmasters of Britain, had previously banned 'Meet Me At McDonald's' haircut and had been the subject of parents' fury by telling pupils when to go to bed and get up.
This time, one parent called the approach to uniform policy 'a joke' while another said that isn't a bit "pleased that outside people are inspecting my daughter's uniform."
