An “outraged” mother withdrew her two sons from Bushey Meads School after being told they needed to wear branded trousers costing £22.50 a pair.

Watford Observer:

The school updated its uniform for the new academic year and students must now wear trousers with “BMS” logos on.

Claire Lish suggested buying cheaper smart trousers elsewhere and having the logo embroidered onto them but was told this was not acceptable.

She said the new rules were “absolutely ridiculous” and withdrew her sons Paddy and Tom from the school.
