This has angered me.Ĭooked that they don’t have to say Auckland BOYS’ Grammar School in the same way the girls’ grammar has to. It’s not the 1940s, let ’em wear pants! The long skirt and a blouse paired with the navy/ gold striped blazer will set you back $298! I’m sorry, are we going to the Oscars? This is some grade A bullshit and it’s not even cute. It is a true fashion nightmare and I’m sending all my love to the students who have to wear this absolute travesty. Before you receive your long black skirt to signify adulthood, you are forced to wear a red pinstripe skirt that is also pleated.
#CHARCOAL ELDRITCH ACADEMY UNIFORM FULL#
The full year 13 fit will set you back $611 – that’s disrespectful to both you and I. Long black skirt, pinstriped blazer and a muted gold tie for year 13s. If pubescent insecurity had a uniform, this would be it. It’s an outfit that says, “We think throwing money at things makes it fashion!” This is untrue. A $307 red, white and blue striped blazer can be added to this lewk. The whole look is tied together with the all important belt which somehow dominates the entire outfit. The boys are rocking grey drill shorts and an off-green-looking top, or sometimes it’s a white top. Could it be the uniform is actually meant to deter girls from going to this school? But it could be any colour, it would never redeem the horridness of this skirt. In some of the photos, the skirt is black, not beige. It’s a skirt that would give you an insecurity complex for the rest of your life, paired with what can only be described as a sturdy belt. Think Miss Trunchbull from Matilda: it’s camel coloured, full length, tight around the lower abdomen and then pleats on out. The most horrific skirt I have ever seen in my life for the obscene price of $113.
Of course my personal opinion on fashion and school uniform matters hugely and therefore all opinions are final, correct and almost fact. I once wore a school uniform and worked for nine months in a retail store and this qualifies me to judge every single school uniform I could find. Who knew there were so many colleges in Auckland? Certainly not me when I embarked on this ranking. Spoiler alert: Contains pinstripes, skorts and cufflinks. The row follows a rebellion at the Isca academy in Exeter in June when about 30 boys turned up in skirts after being told they could not wear shorts rather than trousers despite temperatures exceeding 30C.After years of hearing Aucklanders bicker over who has the least horrific school uniform, Tauranga-born Janaye Henry decides once and for all who is serving the best looks at the inter-school events. If you have different types of trousers it leads on to different types of shoes, different types of shirts, etc.” “In doing so some learners were sent home. Nicky Cooper, the school’s headteacher, defended the move, saying: “We are very, very particular about the uniform because we need consistency right across the board. Keith Hood told the Echo: “Pupils lined up while headteacher compares trousers to a colour swatch. “I went down to the school and spoke to one of the teachers who actually loaned him a pair of trousers from Total Sport so he could go into class. They said it would not affect his attendance but Aaron would not be allowed back into the school until it was resolved. “I spoke to his teacher, who said he had to give Aaron a letter to send him home. They were checking their clothes for tags, which is just a disgrace.”ĭonna Morris told the Sunderland Echo said she received a text saying her son Aaron, 14, was not allowed through the school gates because his trousers were bought at a different shop. The whole thing is ridiculous – it’s like the children are in a prison. “When she told them she had nowhere to go, they put her in an isolation room. “I had difficulty finding a pair which fit her, but it’s not like she was wearing trainers or anything like that,” she said. Some parents demanded to know why they should pay £15.99 when a similar pair of trousers could be bought for £7 at Tesco.ĭeb Pearson said her daughter was turned away at the school gates because she was wearing boots rather than shoes. “I love the uniform, but it would be nice if parents could have a choice where to go for the uniform.” “When I got down there were a load of children actually lined up having their uniform checked. “I got a phone call within two minutes saying: ‘Mam, they’re not letting us through the school gates,’” said Kim Lister, whose son alerted her to the rigorous checks. Several pupils who were found not to be wearing the stipulated charcoal grey trousers from Sunderland firm Total Sport were sent home or banned from classes. The school defended the move, saying it had told parents that only clothes of a particular colour and bought from a particular supplier were allowed for “consistency”.
In scenes likened to “life in North Korea”, those who failed were sent home.
