Sorry if I steer the thread to a slightly different track but I am genuinely shocked to read that the casual dress day at school could be the cause of such a distress.

DD is just at the beginning of secondary school and to me it has always been a day where kids wear their day to day clothes and nothing more. It has been far from such a distress in our house so far and i didn't think it could be that different in secondary.

Looks like in teenage years make up is definitely expected, almost compulsory???? In some schools or almost everywhere????

To my defence, I am ancient and also i didn't study in the UK and had no personal experience of mufti days in teenage years.

So what is the right dress code? The most bang-on trend, finished with make up? I am genuinely puzzled.
