Rejected petition Allow boys in Secondary schools to wear shorts

When the uk has heatwaves, and general hot weather, boys from secondary schools still have to go in full length trousers, and blazers in most schools. Shorts will still look smart but will help them slightly to stay cooler, like the girls are allowed with skirts.

More details

We don’t want our boys over heating and shorts can look smart too!
