[quote quote=119339]The Headmaster and Governors should be applauded for the stance they are taking, as should all other schools nationally who are pursuing a similar course of action.
The policy has been proven on many occasions to increase academic performance levels and reduce bullying. It ensures that pupils cannot be singled out as being from a financially disadvantaged background by their peers, as ‘brand name’ apparel is most certainly a lever that is us used to show peer groups that they are somehow ‘better’.
It also discourages parents from acting ostentatiously through their children.
Well done Headmaster for taking this course of action as part of the schools initiative to raise standards.

Spot on…..Wrexham’s schools enjoyed a difficult period and they have responded well by actually using approaches that work wherever they have been applied
