Stop valley parks makeup ban

So what about if boys want to wear makeup, then what? Huh?

this is ridiculous, a makeup ban, really? to be honest i would be distracted from doing my work even more if i weren't to wear makeup because i would feel uncomfortable and self conscious. most of the girls in valley park don't even wear that much and if the students have to take their makeup off then i say so do the teachers because some teachers wear more than the students! this school is so pathetic and ridiculous.

Kids are at school to learn and should be able to wear what ever they feel is comfortable

It's not fair we should be able to feel confident and happy in our own skin and with makeup that makes it easier. I think the idea of 'distracting boys' is ridiculous! And sexist!

Why should they ban makeup? It makes girls feel better about themselves and with no makeup they will feel uncomfortable, I know this because I would. It is not distracting anyone from their work. With some makeup, girls feel more secure and are proud to come to school looking how they want to look. Without makeup all the girls will be unhappy and furious at the school, setting a bad example to the new students and parents that want to come to valley park.

I don't think it is fair that boys get whatever they want and it's doesn't distract boys!!! Valley think that it's okay to let girls be unconfident just to please them!!

This is ridiculous! Boys will be distracted by girls with or without makeup it's called hormones! If they are worried about girls distracting boys then have same sex classes! A make up ban is the wrong soloution!

well out of order

Sorry Valley Park, but don't take away a comfort to girls going through a difficult stage in there life. We hated it

This should not be happening. Three out of four of my sisters go to Valley Park. And many others of my family, cousins, stepsisters. Anyone. Why do they do this. Makeup has never hurt anyone. Some actually need it so that they dont fet bullied as they have a massive pimple on thier face, or a birth mark. Whats so wrong with a bit of make up here and thier. We've had, and probably will always gave makeup. Its just a fashion, like Adidas, or nike. Whats is soo wrong. Stop it. Just stop it. Its pathetic, and to be honest just downright dumb!!

I used to go to valley and I was well known for being the gothic girl and wearing a lot of eyeliner. I would get away with it a lot because of my fringe and glasses, but when the teachers did see they would tell me to go wipe it off at student support. I would cringe at the thought of taking my make up off and get myself all worked up about it. Taking away make up for some girls is like taking their confidence away, especially if you are a teen girl it takes a long time for us to start liking or loving ourselves the way we are naturally, make up is part of a girls life it's her armour.

What's the policy on boys wearing make up? Because I look Gorgeous with mine done

ingdom, Maidstone Just now delete Maybe parents should stop in courageing their kids to wear it maybe they should call their kids beautiful more often maybe they have a spot teach them to leave it alone not cover it with half a ton of foundation or concealer all the girls in vally that wear make up make them self's look like slu*s rolling their skirts up to there arse cheeks putting loads of make up on so what do u expect vally park to do just ban there make up get rid of the dirty slappers from maidstone town centre lol

If there is a problem with boys being distracted, then the problem doesn't lie with the girls wearing make up, it lies with the boys' attitude towards the girls. If there is a problem, deal with the root cause. Everybody needs to feel confident, particularly when learning, this is far more of a distraction to students than wearing make up. Surely the line needs to be drawn, a prescribed list of shoes and bags is also too far. We all understand that students need to look smart bug there are other ways to obtain this outcome.

Outrageous! Glad I left, feel sorry for the girls

I hate this stupid ban for the make up its pathetic what's more important being called bi sexuel or wearing make up its very easy

Load of rubbish very pointless and how does it distract boys and how does it affect learning its human rights

I used to go to valley park and i was one of those girls that was always sent up to student support and embarrassed in front of class mates! I was bullied for my freckles and wanted to be pretty like most maturing young girls! Get a bloody grip! Learnt sod all at that school! Pile of crap!! Offsted reports might be good but the teaching and general communication of the school was diabolical

It is disgusting that they think they should ban make up, to be critisised for any time taken out from school to go to the doctors or a funeral, they sure didn't have a problem removing you from a lesson for the length of your trousers, skirt or tie! Makeup gave me great confidence and I would never be without it and to ban it from girls who are growing up is disgusting. Whilst and even after I left that school I still do not understand how wearing makeup affects your learning! After leaving that school I work at a high profile global company who stated the one of the reasons they hired me was because of how I 'put myself together' and in particular 'how I do my makeup'. Whatever your argument or basis for why girls shouldn't wear makeup you are wrong and to make the comment that 'it distracts boys' is dangerous, what are you going to come out with next? That girls who wear make up are 'up for it' and deserve what comes to them, just because of a bit of make up. Get a grip valley park
