School bans “sexy” trousers which “cling” to girl students

A school has banned tight-fitting trousers which are ”too sexy” for the classroom – and is making students hand over their mobile phones as a deposit for replacement pairs. Teachers say the Miss Sexy branded garments are unacceptable because of the way they ”cling” to girl students – making them ”unhelpful” to learning. The Miss Sexy trousers, which are made from stretchy Bengalin and Polyester material, cost between £10 and £15 and can be bought at local clothes shops and online.

But now the headteacher of Bradley Stoke Community School in Bristol is cracking down on rule breaches and spent £400 on 80 pairs of ‘standard issue’ £5 black trousers. Any girls caught wearing figure-hugging trousers are forced to change into a regulation pair of trousers, which are hanging on racks near the entrance. Pupils are required to hand over something of value – such as their mobile phone – as deposit to ensure they return the pair at the end of the school day.



The measures have been blasted as ”unhygienic” by students, who claim they cannot afford to shell out for tailored trousers. In a letter sent to all parents and guardians, the school said the tight trousers were distracting pupils from lessons. It read: ”The tightness of the trousers and the way they cling to the wearer’s body is unsightly and accentuates body shape in an unhelpful way in a school environment – they are particularly unflattering when worn by some students.

”The trousers are also low-cut which means that undergarments and sometimes more are revealed… and takes attention away from the learning focus of lessons.” Headteacher David Baker said the trousers showed ”too much flesh”. He said: ”When I walk round the classrooms it is hideously embarrassing to see girls leaning over tables and to see flesh and thong hanging out”.
