message: In March 1999, the school made the headlines when 40 girls were either sent home, made to put on baggy trousers or isolated from lessons for wearing excessively short skirts as part of a local crackdown on sexily dressed school pupils. 21 female pupils aged from 11 to 16 were suspended and the rest segregated away from the other pupils. The school's then head-teacher, Mrs Barbara O'Connor, was supported by most people connected to the school when she made this decision. The girls were sent home or removed from lessons for wearing short skirts which were more than 2 inches (51 mm) above the knee. This action was taken after several complaints from various sources, including some male pupils and members of the local community, who had expressed their concern about the rude and sexy way some of the girls were dressing. It became known locacaly as the '1999 Short skirts debacle'. A similar, but less spectacular situation occered soon after due to a purge of jeans and tight trousers.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Cut quite a bit from this as I felt it was overly detailed. Didn't think we needed dates of the deaths of former staff members, or information about the toilets being remodelled. Article could still do with more cuts in my view (eg extra-curricular section - this is not really any different to most schools) and more citations. Tacyarg (talk) 23:23, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
