Priory Uniform

When I was at Priory (80s) we never had uniform issues. I don't remember any letters being sent to parents. Teachers were not bothered about what pupils were wearing and therefore no time was wasted with uniform issues. This was because of the more relaxed, sensible approach back. I had to wear a grey skirt, and a blue jumper/sweatshirt. No school logos needed. My choice of style of skirt/jumper. Shoes of my own choice.

Priory in the 80s was like the Wild West.
It was an achievement to get to the end of the day in one piece; what everyone was wearing didn't cross my mind too often.
There were a selection of punks, rockers, goths and mods as I remember, who tended to be alright. And the geek/nerd fraternity (not that they were called that in those days).
It was the rest you had to stay clear of.

I think most European and US schools seem to manage without uniforms. My memory of school uniform was that it was something for pedantic martinets sitting in their office to spend too much time worrying about.
