Pupils in uniforms protest
Pupils from a Warwickshire school are planning to walk out of lessons for a second time to demonstrate against proposals to introduce a school uniform.

When the plans were first announced two years ago students at Trinity School in Leamington Spa held demonstrations, backed by parents who thought uniform would go against the ethos of the school.

Now the Catholic school has sent letters to parents saying uniform will be introduced from next year for years seven to 11.

Pupils and parents believe the move will destroy the relaxed atmosphere at their school.

A previous survey of parents, pupils, and staff had opposed a change to a uniform.

Pupils plan to leave lessons on Wednesday in protest at the proposed dress code.
