A mother has criticised her child's school's 'archaic' uniform rules which require students to wear woolly jumpers in the sweltering hot summer sun.
In a letter sent to parents last week, Mossley Hollins High School staff said pupils may remove their blazers during lessons, however the top buttons on shirts 'must remain fastened' and 'ties and sleeveless jumpers must be worn at all times'.
The school, in Tameside, Greater Manchester, has since said students can remove their jumpers during class but still have to wear them when walking around.
Parents said while the school states 'there is no requirement for students to wear blazers during the summer months', this 'hasn't been communicated' and they are still being asked to wear them outside the classroom.
The mother of a Year 10 student at Mossley Hollins High has called the rules 'archaic'.
