My sixth form has a new head of the whole school as well as a new head of sixth form and yes, they've banned jeans! :mad:
I'm disgusted, but i just wanted to publicise my anger as i think you'll all agree with me that its completely unreasonable! (Yes, its a non-uniform sixth form and always has been)
I just wanted a rant really... especially as they've let all those townies/bazzers/whatever wear their stoooopid jogging bottoms and what not that they pull their socks over the bottoms off... :eek2:
Gahhhhhh!
*rant over*

Which I think is ironic since my father has a PhD and goes to work in "smart casual" dress (shirt and trousers) for a major company every day.
It would be nice to wear jeans to school, but then i'd run out of clothes to go out in, more so than I am already! Also, because i've never worn denim to school, I don't miss what i don't have.
At my sixth form: No shorts, No uber-mini-skirts and no ultra-tit-showing tops.
That's it.. Jeans have always been allowed..!
Like, today I went to "school" wearing a tight black low cut tee, with a mini-skirt, tights and 5 inch platform calf high boots... No one said a word I love being in Upper Sixth Form
AND! I've only been given 2 subjects for the next year, which means UBER FREE PERIODS
Ilora x
we were too, however we all feared when they were interviewing for a new head, and the sizthform could be on the panel, one said i want them all to wear suits, he wasnt sucessful!
bring it up @ school concil.. to the governers. but w/ good points! ask y jeans will have a bad affect upon ur work. lol, and jeans can b smart, much beta than sports wear.
At the place I used to work (a stall selling jewellery), this company took over and decided we weren't allowed to wear jeans because we had to look smart and presentable. So I came to work in baggy combats instead. To me, jeans can be a lot smarter than other trousers, so I really don't see the logic there. Maybe you should all protest by coming into school in really tatty jogging bottoms or combats and say 'well, it was either these or my jeans...'
Personally I wouldn't have wanted to wear jeans to school! It meant I could keep jeans and other casual clothes for when I went out, instead of using up all my clothes just for school.
Also, if it is part of the school then I can see why they would want people to look smart, but if as you say they are allowing people to wear tracksuit bottoms, then that can't be their reasoning anyway.
