Rivers academy west london feel it important for kids to wear 3 layers of clothing. All we are asking is if temperature over 21 degrees the jumper is optional....keeping the blazer and shirt as compulsory....

The feedback from parents regarding recent classroom conditions confirms that this remains a significant concern for our students. I am currently documenting these accounts to present a formal request regarding the uniform policy to the administration.

The response to this proposal has been significant and it clarifies that many parents share our perspective on student comfort. This momentum indicates that we are ready to open a constructive dialogue with the academy administration regarding our dress code policy.

i understand that the school would like to keep the students in uniform which I agree with but wearing a jumper as well as shirt and blazer in high temperatures is just silly. It is also a health risk on some students as everyone's individual body temperature differ. It is also interesting to see that none of the staff wear the 3 layers during hot days and they are supposed to be the students role models during school time.
Should be optional some kids get warmer than others. I don't mind sending my child in wearing uniform but if he feels to hot he should be allowed to take off his jumper without being told no or put it bk on
How can a child concerntrate in lesson if they are too hot, this is awful! Why cant the school use common sense and adjust the rules accordingly. This is surely not promoting the health of the children.
I am fed up with my daughter coming home in the heat after having to wear full uniform stuffing with overheating and headache due to the heat And don't think that they really need to bring full uniform into school on hot day why caarry extra in the heat unnecessarily
Totally agree with this as both my boys suffer once the temperature goes above 19. Had them off previous due to heat stroke
There is no way that uniform can be so important it should put children's health at risk.
Common sense to remove jumpers in warmer weather!

My daughter will be sitting exams this year and next! How is she going to concentrate when being made to wear 3 layers during the hot weather. All the students look smart with or without the jumper!!
