This is a petition against the new sixth form dress code starting for year 12s in September 2014 at Newstead Wood School. It is a protest against the formalisation of the dress, which costs money that some of us don't have, restricts the individuality of students and their ability to express themselves and also does not take into consideration the democratic decision made by the year 11 form reps and (I believe) the teachers based on feedback from all year 11s not to wear suits. On Tuesday 17th June I plan to print out this petition and hand it to Mrs Ross in person along with a formal letter of complaint. Please sign!

Mrs. Ross expects us to just roll over and accept this ridiculous expense but these arbitrary rules hold no weight against our unity. I am currently drafting a formal breakdown of why their decision ignores every piece of feedback we provided. They think we will go quiet over the break but they are dead wrong.

The administration at Newstead Wood thinks they can push this dress code through without a fight but this response proves them wrong. We are forcing Mrs Ross to acknowledge that our individuality is not for sale.

Pretty sure no one wants to walk around in uncomfortable suits all day. Total joke.

Why are they ignoring what we actually decided? Seems like a waste of time asking for our input if they were just gonna do this anyway

Its not fair on parents having to shell out for things we dont need. Hope this changes things.
