"However, as summers are becoming hotter, shorts will be introduced as part of our school uniform from next year having first consulted with students and parents".
So around 30 boys chose to protest by wearing skirts to school instead - here's what the protest looked like!
A group of young British boys who sported skirts to school to protest the institution's uniform code after being told they could not wear shorts during scorching hot temperatures have won their battle.
The newspaper reported that when the boys argued that the girls could bear their legs during the heatwave, the school responded by saying, probably jokingly, that they could wear skirts as well. His school never said anything against wearing skirts. "I was very proud of Ryan". "My 14-year-old son wanted to wear shorts".
"We're not allowed to wear shorts, and I'm not sitting in pants all day, it's a bit hot", a protesting student told the BBC.
Sen. Carper weighs in on Senate healthcare proposal
The bill takes major steps to roll back provisions of the Affordable Care Act but doesn't go as far as the House's version . President Donald Trump made Obamacare repeal a centerpiece of his 2016 campaign and celebrated the House-passed bill.
"However children tend to take you literally and so five boys turned up in skirts today - and because she told them it was OK there was nothing she could do as long as they are school skirts".
When temps rise above 90, as they did in Exeter in Southwest England, you'd think a school's top priority should be keeping students and staff cool to ensure a safe learning environment.
None of the boys involved in the protest will be punished, the statement added.
An estimated 30 boys at the school in Devon, south-west England, arrived for lessons in tartan-patterned skirts, borrowed from sisters and girlfriends, on Wednesday and yesterday. "Quite refreshing", one student said, on the experience.
When he said he "could not promise" not to roll them back up, he was sent home.
