Maltby Academy School have implemented a policy without informing parents and possibly governs around preventing children from wearing their coat hoods, in WINTER, outside in the school grounds. Reasons given to the children are; it conceals their identity, it’s anti social behaviour and also increases chances of intruders getting in to school.



We must make a stand against these over the top, damaging and frankly barbaric policies being able to be put in place and negatively impacting our children’s wellbeing.



I ask you to join and share this petition in support of getting Maltby Academy to ditch this policy and exercise dignity and care to our kids!

The stories coming in about students freezing outside are heartbreaking. I am currently drafting a formal letter of concern to the school administration.

My son came home with a full head cold last week due to this daft rule, I understand the hoodie rule, but if it's bad weather the kids need their hoods up, rain, snow, freezing temps n wind, would love to know who decided on this stupid rule.

My child has alot of ear ,nose, and throat infections, they can't wear hats either and when it's bitterly cold outside they need some form of weather protection for the outdoors .

Ridiculous. I'm all for school uniform and rules but this is way ott. If a kid is outside they need to be wearing a coat and hat or hood. This would and does happen in the 'real world'. Sorry MA but get a grip. Concentrate more on giving your pupils the best education possible and less on petty rules.

Maybe if there is a problem with intruders, the security needs to be seriously looked at as this is a massive safeguarding issue- lack of Childrens hoods are not going to help!

Ridiculous policy that clearly need reviewing. It's winter children are going to want to keep warm?, limiting the amount of absence due to coughs and colds.
