LIKE the pupils at her school, Carol Lanigan, principal of the Bray School Project, an Educate Together school in Bray, Co Wicklow, never wore a uniform as a child.
"I haven't worked in a school with a uniform in over 25 years," she says. "I don't have particularly strong views either way but I suppose my preference is for no uniform. I like seeing all the kids expressing themselves through what they wear."

Clothes should be comfortable, manageable for the children and appropriate. There is a school tracksuit but that's optional.
"The policy was here when I arrived and everyone seems to be comfortable with it," says Lanigan.
