In the same speech, (If you are referring to the “source” as the speech. If not, clarify the source), Mrs Ravat said: “We are aiming to be a non-selective grammar school. At the first assembly, we talked about aspirations.”
“I said that standing in front of me might be a future British Prime Minister as well as future surgeons and lawyers.
The new all-girl school has set certain strict rules that every pupil must respect.
While the headscarf, mandated to be purple, is optional, the school does not allow students to wear trousers, and applying make up or wearing jewelry is strictly forbidden.
The uniform is a navy blazer with purple piping, an ankle-length navy skirt, a white blouse, and bags must be black.
