New uniforms for high schools

PUPILS at Guernsey's high schools will in future have to wear blazers, shirts and ties.

The Education Department announced the new policy this afternoon.

It wants the high schools, the secondary phase at St. Anne's and Le Murier to adopt a more formal uniform to replace the existing polo shirt and sweatshirt option.

The department believes that different uniforms create a divide between the colleges, Grammar School and high schools.

All schools are now considering how best to introduce their chosen version of the new uniform and will be consulting students and parents about the details.
