‘The school know these children are young and vulnerable, my daughter was essentially punished just for not wanting to put her jumper on.‘It’s not an isolated incident and it’s strange nothing is being done – if we have to be that voice to speak up for change then we will be.’ A spokesperson for Rivers Academy said: ‘At Rivers Academy we believe that our Academy uniform provides a sense of belonging and self-worth, which are central to our guiding principles. Our students take pride in their appearance and we hope that by instilling these values, we are preparing them for the professional expectations of the world of work.
‘We asked students to arrive in full uniform on the day in question but by 10am, in accordance with our protocol, we’d informed them that the Academy had moved to a “no jumper day.” This meant that all pupils could remove jumpers and blazers in the classroom so as to be able to learn comfortably in the unseasonable heat.
