Angry moms and dads are battling the school administration after the principal prohibited students from wearing sweaters until November.

Winston Churchill School in Woking, Surrey, informed students that they would no longer be permitted to wear the knitted headwear upon their return. Easter holiday.

Rather than that, they must sport blazers in all circumstances and are permitted to remove them solely when the temperature is high and they inquire politely about doing so.

A complete prohibition was implemented at the co-educational high school starting from April 22 and will remain enforced until the end of October.

However, irate parents have responded by sending their kids to school dressed in sweaters as an act of protest and flooding the school with vulgar emails.

People argue that the strict new approach is illogical because of the 'unpredictable weather, cold starts to the day, and the emphasis on students' well-being.'

A petition has been started To bring back the jumpers because it's not only about staying warm but also about feeling comfortable, confident, and showing school pride.

The school's principal, Zoe Johnson-Walker, hasn’t yet clarified the rationale for the ban but has responded with a highly critical letter, obtained by MailOnline.

In this statement, she expresses gratitude towards the 'majority' of parents who have supported the policy, then criticizes those mothers and fathers who are 'undermining' her efforts.

She declared her determination not to retreat as she penned these words: "Our institution maintains explicit standards, and we insist that everybody embraces all of our guidelines rather than selectively adhering to only those they find agreeable," she stated.

When parents urge their child to disregard the rules, they put the child at odds with the school. If these parents are okay with bypassing one rule, what other regulations might both the parents and children choose to overlook?

Kids can put on an additional base layer underneath their shirts along with multiple outer layers when heading to school on foot.

Mrs. Johnson-Walker mentioned that her choices are significantly shaped by overseeing the care of 1,500 children, which contrasts with parents who typically handle just one or two offspring.

She stated, "I'm aware that if I declare students will wear PE kits, virtually all of them will put on a polo shirt and shorts irrespective of the weather conditions."

Consequently, the regulation states that everyone must stand when the jumper passes by, and students are required to wear their blazers daily under all circumstances.

Staff members will allow students to take off their blazers during classes if they ask courteously, if it's required for the activity, or when the temperature is elevated.

She proceeds to lament the 'difficult' school budget, the challenge of hiring teachers, and then attributes the potential collapse of the PTA to a lack of 'substantial support' from parents.

She stated: "I similarly object to the offensive language employed in certain messages received from parents."

No one at our school addresses parents in this manner, and going forward, all such correspondence will be documented and stored in the students’ files.

It would be simple to let everybody act as they please and adhere only to the rules they prefer, but our school wouldn’t be a secure or uplifting environment to be in.

Each parent hopes that the school chosen for their child will adopt a secure and well-ordered methodology, which is evident in the way uniforms are worn.

Ms. Johnson-Walker concludes her remarkable letter with an encouraging statement: "We will always support your child, so we count on you to stand by our side at the school."

MailOnline has reached out to Winston Churchill School for their input.
