At some schools, there is a restriction on the shortness of your hair. Hayesfield Girls School, Bath claims to be a non biased, free from stereotyping open school.
Recently, a pupil was told by a senior member of the faculty that her short hairstyle was considered "unladylike" and did not conform with the Hayesfield policy of tidiness.
She had only shaved the sides of her head, but this was still considered unladylike. Since then, other pupils have come forward telling their stories about how they'd been harassed by members of the pastoral team about their hairstyles.
The only policy Hayesfield has is that your hairstyle is not able to be an "extreme colour or style." The Student Body feel as if a short hairstyle does not fit with this specification.
If this reaches enough signatories, it will be handed in to both the school and the local council as a complaint.
