 Depends on the school - some will say no, but won't do anything about it, some don't care and some will take action.

I don't think they should, but that's JMO.

In our area they are very strict on correct uniform, no denim to be seen.
You may need to check with the school concerned. Marian

Apart from the school dress code ( which should be written down somewhere) There is opportunity for other interpretations of uniform.

My elder girl got away with :- "If wearing the white collared school shirt, one must wear a school tie"... She wore it around her waist, on Tartan skirt belt loops, as they didn't specify where it should be worn!  When hauled up to the Principal, she had her case upheld & they changed the tie code to.. "Around the neck" LOL!

The same daughter, same school, honour student, now a teacher herself also had issues every year from about September onwards in High School. Her shoes bought in Feb wore out, & no "Proscribed by uniform code" shoes were available.later in the year 

I challenged the male Principal to buy a pair of Women's Sz 10 leather shoes anywhere; & I'd pay him back! (She was allowed to wear black Converse runners for the rest of the school year!) None to be found at that time! Cheers, TTLG
