A school has banned girls from wearing skirts as part of its uniform policy.

Walkwood C of E Middle School in Redditch also said girls cannot wear blouses and will consult on whether to allow dresses in the summer term.

A letter to parents from the headteacher, David Doubtfire, said the changes come into effect from September and will gradually be phased in over the academic year.

The letter said: "All girls will be expected to wear trousers."
