'I just don't see why, I don't understand it'
Students have been reprimanded on their first day of the new school year for wearing 'unsuitable footwear', resulting in parents being called to collect them.
"She was wearing them for the last two years of primary school and she didn't have any problems. I think it's just a power thing."They're getting treated like they're in the Army and they have got to do this and that and wear this and that. "They've had all that time off during the pandemic where they've had to stare at tablets and iPads to try and get some sort of education.
He added: "I'm quite angry that they are clearly focusing on matters that are less concerning than others that have been raised to them. There's more important things that should be addressed rather than shoes." "It's absolutely ridiculous, a shoe is a shoe. Fair enough if it was white Converse or bright trainers but they're shoes. It doesn't change how they're educated. It doesn't make any difference what they wear on their feet. Uniforms are expensive enough.
A spokesperson for Grace College said: "Grace College is proud of its uniform for the professional image it portrays, and we expect students to wear it with pride.
