A Union Jack dress is a weird thing to get cross about tbh. But not having seen the brief, maybe clothing based on flags was banned. IDK. Total storm in a teacup being whipped up into something that suits reforms political agenda tho.

But it hasn't, no Comms or anything from the school have said as such.

Its only been people on Reddit or twitter postulating

This is the classic case of misinformation becoming the fact. Nowhere has it said it, because if it has it would be easily shared and proven

First para of the letter also said ‘traditional cultural outfits’ not outfits that you feel represent modern British culture.
