It's complete and utter rubbish how is it smart we look like 3 year olds at a summer camp . And the school wants to nuckle down on billing so why would they start inflicting it.

These bags with the school logo does not improve your learning nor does it make you look smart. Being smart should be shown through your class work not your school bag.I understand a uniform does make you smarter (in some ways) but something such as a bag for school shouldn't be addressed as a uniform. Having a ordinary school bag does no harm to your education so why ban it? Can't a student have a free choice of what they like, rather than being forced to follow a rule that clearly should not be a rule itself. It feels like we are used to make this school look "good" for the public eye just by our appearance rather than our effort in the work we produce. One of the reasons why the school brought out the bags is because it didn't hurt your back. But to be honest, this bag is the most awkwardly placed thing when you wear it and feels so uncomfortable. It's not strong as the straps break quickly. Also many teachers are against this policy and find it unnecessary.

When I walk around the school all I see/hear is nasty little comments and finger pointing at me and others students in my position. Although yes, they are identifiable with the Seaford Head logo, but it’s not fair that not all students have been made to use the bags. Now that I have recently moved to Arundel Site and mixed with students that do not have to wear the bags, it has now made the new Year 9's different. There for giving the older students a target for bullying. It’s a huge step having to move from one site to the other; let alone having to meet new teachers and find our way around the school. I suggest either everyone year and all students and staff wear the bags or none of us wear the bags at all. If none of us wear them, maybe we could be asked to only wear black, brown or navy colours so that we look smarter and similar to each other. That way no one would feel intimated by others.

As a parent I do not agree with these bags just like I have never agreed with students having to wear blazers in the summer. I sign this petition in the hope that many more will and this new silly rule making all student have these poorly made bags is stopped!

This is stupid! Schools are supposed to care about education
Not about what we look like walking to and from school. Because really
that is what they want, people to be able to recognise seaford head
pupils. These bags are cheap, bad material, small and very inadequate.
Lots of people prefer over the shoulder bags and now we have no option! We are also the only year in upper to wear them so will get bullied by the rest of the years and taken the mick of. I mean why do we have to wear them and nobody else? We understand that the rules should be that bags have to be black, I don't have a problem with that. But giving people no choice is a bit wrong as we already have no choice on uniform. There is no summer and winter uniform. And taking our old bags away for the day? Pointless if you ask me.

These bags are stupid they encorage bullying as they are ugly and the older students make fun of us. They are small and we cant fit are stuff in them. Our own bags that we have PAID for are being taken and apparantley sold on ebay. They have earphone holes which encorage us to use earphone which are banned so that lets them tell us off. Mrs golds is a horrible head ahe could run a prision NOT a school. She is now trying to introduce school pencil cases which is just going to far. None of the teachers ast seaford head school agree with them and it is only year 7,8,9 that have to wear these horrible things

I understand that if us year 9s must wear the bags that the year 10s should have to wear them as well, it is unfair on us to be the only ones wearing the bags, however it is yrealistic to expect 15/16 year olds in year 11 to abide by this new rule. They're leaving in less than a year anyway and it's not exactly going to give them better GCSE grades which should surely be a priority? Why not spend the money on much needed school equipment or extra tutoring and resources rather than the 800 bags bought for the yrs 6-9 .

This is like the phone ban, having our phones out didn't effect anything to do with the school and sure we have had to deal with that which I guess is okay. But taking our only last bit of freedom away is too far. They don't give your bags back which is totally unfair, I got my bag taken away a month ago and I haven't seen it since. I especially don't understand why it's so important to them that we look good, the bags don't fit with the uniform at all. The whole look to them just makes the school look tacky instead of nice. Miss Golds isn't running the school fairly, we need rights. Remember, no students, no school, no school, no money for you teachers. We should all wear our own bags and then they can see exactly how it is OUR school. It's turned more into their school then ours. If any more rules crack down I will leave. Strictest school in Sussex, not what I applied for, I hope the new year 7's know what they are going to put up with. Another thing is that they split us all up in year 8, we came to school, made new friends and now it's like they are asking for us to just drift away from those friends. This school needs proper improvements to become a normal secondary school again.

I hope the board of governors/head read these comments and the Facebook page "seaford notice board". This really is a step too far and fraught with all kinds of problems. Unpopular, un-enforcable and a real affect on the yr 9,10,11 student decisions when considering 6th form. Not one of my daughters friends or classmates wants to stay at the school a day more than they have to. I think this policy (and a few others, but lets just stick to this one) is a mistake and counterproductive. I think it will have real, tangible detrimental affect on the 6th form intake as a result at the very least. I urge the Head and the board of governors to rethink this one. Stick to a policy of plain/black or similar fair enough, but not these overpriced poor quality bags that seems to be universally hated and a target for bullying.

They are ugly, we should be able to express our selfs, we already have uniforms and yes ok that not to bad, but now your just pushing it seaford head! That was the only bit of non school uniform we had. Also it is not fair that only the year 7,8 and 9s have to wear these bags. There is no point in wearing them, they also break very easily. It seams to me you care more about our uniform than our education.

Yet another thing this school expects parents to fork out hard earned money for! I understand the reasons behind students looking smart and all wearing the same uniform but allowing the use of their own bags would encourage individuality - something the kids will probably rely on in the big, wide world they are being prepared for.
