taking her out of school also seems daft to me but were the school going to send her home anyway if she didn't wear it ?
as to them requiring clip on ties i would also refuse to wear one i wear a proper one with a double Windsor or nothing

The reason why the school changed the ties was because they were fed up with telling the students to do them up properly. There is nothing more slovenly looking, than a child who wears their tie half way down their stomachs, with a huge knot and a short blade. Apparently, she was one of those who continued to ignore the instructions to wear the uniform correctly.

the bit about full consultation made me laugh that means they consulted the few parents who turn up for PTA meetings if they had taken a vote then i would see it differently

PTAs have nothing whatsoever to do with school uniforms. These are subjects and issues covered by the schools' governing bodies. It's a struggle to get anyone to turn up for PTA meetings and commit themselves to help out at the Christmas Fair, let alone make decisions such as this. Parental consultations can take many different forms, such as letters and e-mails, but the school cannot be held responsible, if parents are too lazy to respond.
