Student Uniform Statistics

The request was successful.

Charlotte Barker

Dear Delta Academies Trust,

Parents are required to purchase academy branded uniform items to fit the child size whether large or small. The questions are a) does Delta Academies Trust perform any statistical analysis on uniform sizes per academy per year? b) if Delta Academies Trust does perform statistical analysis on uniform sizes, please could the data be made available in excel format? and c) does purchasing branded uniform for a child in any year affect the child's life in the academy? I mean, if a parent bought their year 7 girl a branded 30 inch skirt to fit her waist and hips, does the academy look at girl skirt size before starting in September and put her on extra P.E lessons compared to a year 7 girl who wears a branded 22 inch skirt?

Thank you

Yours faithfully,

Charlotte Barker
