One parent said their 11-year-old daughter had been left 'petrified' to return to school, with many claiming their children had been threatened with disciplinary action if they didn't comply
Schoolgirls have reportedly been left 'in tears' after claiming they were lined up and patted down because their trousers were "too tight".
But parents say they bought the trousers from an official uniform supplier, including one dad-of-two, who has two daughters aged 11, and 13 at the school. Speaking to the M.E.N, he said: "We went to an official uniform supplier in Ramsbottom and bought two pairs of trousers for our daughters. A spokesperson for Woodhey School said claims that the uniform was distracting for male students was "unfounded" and 'by no means mentioned by the school.' The dad claims that when he dropped his daughters off at the school on Tuesday , girls were being stopped by both male and female teachers who were allegedly asking them to lift their shirts to check the waistbands, and feeling the trousers to check the material.
"There were 80 students sent into isolation that we know about. A lot of parents feel they are just being picked on. Some have bought four pairs of trousers which may now have to be binned. Another said: " Masses of girls being threatened with isolation and asked to lift their shirts up to check they have the correct trousers on. Being told that if their trousers are too tight they are putting off the male student.
