PUPILS have been banned from wearing expensive designer coats to school to stop other kids feeling poor.
Woodchurch High School in Wirral says students are no longer allowed to dress in jackets from Canada Goose, Moncler or Pyrenex, which cost up to £1,000 each.
The Church of England academy sent a letter home to parents informing them that the ban is part of a “poverty proofing” scheme, according to MailOnline.
The letter said: “As you are all aware from an email that was sent out yesterday, pupils will not be permitted to bring in Canadian (sic) Goose and Monclair (sic) coats after the Christmas break.
“The support from parents/carers has been overwhelmingly positive and we are very thankful for this.
“Some have also asked whether Pyrenex coats, which are also in a similar price range (with some also having real fur) will also be prohibited.
“I am writing to confirm that these brands will also be prohibited after Christmas. Thank you for your on going support.”
A spokesman for the school, which has 1,400 pupils, said staff are concerned with “poverty proofing” and says their policy has “always been to minimise uniform costs”.
Most parents seemed pretty happy with the notion and took to social media to applaud the school’s actions.
One mum said: “It’s been the cause of bullying for so long and those that do have them can still wear out of school. It’s a win, win.”
Another wrote: “Wow a school actually acting on bullying.”

And one added: “Brilliant thing from a high school. Parents should not feel pressurised into buying expensive stuff so their child ‘fits in’.”
But not everyone thought it was a good idea.
One wrote: “I think it’s a joke, some kids only have those coats.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
