High school bans students from wearing expensive jackets to stop 'poverty shaming'

From the beginning of 2019, students at Woodchurch High School, Birkenhead, will not be allowed to wear any branded coats such as Canada Goose and Moncler — said to cost up to £600

A school in the UK has taken drastic measures to ensure that what it describes as "poverty shaming" doesn't happen on the premises. School officials have banned students from wearing expensive designer coats and jackets. From the beginning of 2019, students at Woodchurch High School, Birkenhead, will not be allowed to wear any branded coats such as Canada Goose and Moncler — which are said to cost up to £600 a piece. 

The Liverpool Echo reported that assistant headteacher Smith announced the ban against designer jackets in a letter to all parents and guardians of students. He wrote: "As you are all aware from an email that was sent out yesterday, pupils will not be permitted to bring in Canadian (sic) Goose and Moncler (sic) coats after the Christmas break."
