They would not dare do that these days.

Eddie grant half-mast black trousers and Eddie grant white shirt topped off with Eddie grant black shoes. Eddie grant parka for winter.

 

Off topic. My oh once was telling me about some school trousers and said "there were Eddie Grant ones", I replied "how do you know what trousers Eddie Grant wears?"

One of my best blonde moments...

On topic A vile maroon coloured jumper, yes maroon!! white polo t-shirt and black trousers.

Thick bottle green knickers

[denlin 12]

we had uniform monitors, even at the school bus stops. God help us if we weren`t wearing our berets

 

Likewise at Ecclesfield Grammar - if we were caught without beret it was lines or detention. Uniform was dark red blazer, green pocket with school badge, green pinafore or skirt, white blouse, green cardigan and tie in school colours of burgundy, green and yellow stripes. In summer we wore gingham dresses in house colours of green, red, blue and yellow. I was gutted when I got green as I wore that in winter and would have been happy with any colour but green:roll::roll:

I went to Abbeydale Girls Grammar, navy pleated skirts with blue and white checked blouse, black shoes, white socks, and navy blue tie. Navy blue blazer or gaberdine and the ever present beret. Navy blue and pink striped scarf. What was your uniform?

Wellingtons [turned down summer].

My uncle Toms coat, [altered by our Margaret to make it fit].and short trousers ,[last Whitsuntides].

The coat was as long as the the trousers and all the kids thought it was cool as the Teddy Boys had just started strutting there stuff ,so Violet Brown fancied me.

Brilliant uniform!

Maltby Street Council School didn't have an official uniform. Just relied on our moms to get us sensible and servicable schoolwear.

[WallBuilder 10]

Our class was selected to be given the privilege of sitting on the stage at morning assembly and apparently the girls were all advised in a girls only form meeting that they should be aware of how they sat and what they wore knicker wise because of the height of the stage

One of the jobs for a prefect when monitoring the first and second year dinner sessions was to identify any of the kids not in correct uniform who could then be sent to the backof the dinner queue
