Newquay Junior Academy plans to ban skirts for girls, requiring them to wear trousers or tailored shorts.

A primary school in Cornwall, UK, is set to become the first in the country to ban pupils from wearing skirts due to concerns that they are being worn too short. Newquay Junior Academy plans to implement a ban on skirts, with girls instead having to wear trousers or tailored shorts from September if the rule is approved. The school has written to parents to seek their opinions on the proposed change.
