amateur doorstep photo sessions in
too-big uniform, fresh white socks
and pristine book bags has become
a familiar waymark of the arrival of
autumn.
Along with a higher pop-cultur e
profi le, back to school now comes
with a lengthy shopping list – for
parents as well as children. The rise
of fl exible working and freelancing
has allowed more working parents
to make school-gate appearances,
raising the stakes for power dressing.
And the rise of “ mummy
bloggers ” such as Erica Davies of
The Edited as a major driver of high
street sales has reorientated fashion
towards outfi ts for the school run.
The fashion choices of the
Duchess of Cambridge and Sienna
Miller on this week’s school runs – a
Michael Kors silk dress and a Mango
co-ord, respectively – were widely
reported in the media. Recent
research by eBay UK suggested that


British mothers spen t a combined
£425m each year on “school-run
fashion ”.
However, a backlash is growing.
The Canadian prime minister, Justin
Trudeau, was criticised this week
when he tweeted a photo of him and
his wife holding hands with their
rucksack-toting children, wishing
them a happy new school year. The
hashtag #TrudeauMustGo trended
and he was derided for using his
family to distract voters from his
political woes.
Meanwhile, research by the
cybersecurity company McAfee
suggest ing that 53% of parents post
back-to-school photos online raised
concerns about online privacy.
Surrey police released guidelines
this week for keeping children safe
when posting photos on social
media, including obscuring school
uniform badges and ensuring other
children’s faces were not visible.

Pupils barred after protest


over gender-neutral uniform

Pupils protesting against a new gen-
der neutral uniform have been barred
from entering their secondary school
and sent home on the fi rst day of term.

Dozens of pupils and parents gath-
ered outside Priory school in Lewes,
East Sussex, to protest against the
rules, which include a ban on girls
wearing skirts. They argued that girls
should be allowed to wear skirts and
that many could not aff ord to buy a
new uniform for the new school year.

The local Conservative MP, Maria
Caulfi eld, said on Twitter: “Very dis-
turbed to see the school turning away
girls from Priory school because they
choose to wear a skirt and calling the
police on them. ”
Cressida Murray, who helped
organise the protest alongside her
daughter, said the school’s reaction
was “outrageous”.
The school said the policy was
designed to promote equality. A
spokesman said: “ We believe that a
uniform worn without modifi cation is
the best way to ensure equality. ”

  • as well as six species of marine
    turtle and several species of large-
    bodied sharks.
    The highest number of strandings
    in a single year was recorded in 2017,
    with more than 1,000 noted.
    The team also investigated several
    large-scale mass stranding events
    involving multiple animals, including
    one in July 2011 in the Kyle of Durness,
    Sutherland, where 70 long-fi nned pilot
    whales were stranded together.
    A total of 1,030 postmortem exam-
    inations identifi ed infectious disease


and incidental entanglement in fi sh-
ing gear – known as bycatch – as the
two most common causes of death.
Bycatch accounted for 23% of
common dolphin deaths and 14%
of harbour porpoise deaths. Others
caused directly by humans included
25 animals killed by ship-strike.
The cetologist Rob Deaville , who
led the study, said: “It’s diffi cult to say
conclusively what’s driven this rise,
but it’s potentially associated with
multiple causes , including increases
in local reporting and variation in the
population density of some species. ”
