Schoolboys turn up at school in skirts to protest 'no shorts' policy

Dozens of schoolboys were preparing for a dressing down yesterday (thurs) after around 50 wore skirts to school in protest at a 'no shorts' policy. The teens - aged from Years 7 to 11 - formed a mass protest the day after five boys wore skirts on the hottest day of the year. Parents have criticised the 'inflexible' uniform policy at ISCA College in Exeter, Devon, which insists that boys wear long trousers despite the heat. The five boys who wore skirts on Wednesday escaped punishment and dozens decided to follow suit yesterday (thurs).
