We live at the top of a large hill and every winter it is treacherous trying to get down a steep hill of black ice to get children to school. My youngest 2 only have to go halfway down the hill, but their school advises they wear wellies or snowboots in winter in order to stay safe and dry.However my eldest son (who has to travel the full length of the hill) has been told under no circumstances are boots allowed to be worn with school uniform! He fell quite badly last year and winded himself so I kitted the children out with boots that had good grips on them yet the school is refusing to budge on the uniform rule. I can understand they dont want girls turning up with Ugg boots on but surely for the safety of the children they should allow them to wear sensible boots in bad weather??
