Thankyou firstly for taking the the time to view the online petition.

As many of you know, parents of students at The Morley Academy were sent an email with a link with regards to the new uniform policies.

After having conversations with a few other parents it has become apparent I am not the only parent against the rule of the wear of Nicholas Deakins.

This brand and other brands with this style of shoe have previously been worn at schools across the country for many years with no proven issues, so as parents I believe we should have had an explaination as to why they are no longer "suitable".

Many children have to walk to and from school daily in all weather conditions, making this style of shoe extremely durable and hard wearing. In my opinion these shoes are smart and fit well with the school uniform.

No other school has branded this style of shoe unfit, so why should students of The Morley Academy be forced to wear other shoes that are not as durable for the school day when there has been clearly no issues for the last known nine years and beyond!

If you are in agreement with the above statement please feel free to sign the online petition and share on any social media sites, so as many parents as possible can view, sign and share.

This petition will be shown at a meeting with Mrs Griffiths in the forthcoming weeks.

With regards and thankyou again.
