Pupils at truant school to get Savile Row suits by Prince Charles's tailor to boost morale
A school with one of the country's worst truancy records is issuing its pupils with Savile Row suits.
Tom Mahon - tailor to Prince Charles - has designed suits to replace the replace polo shirts and sweaters worn by the 750 children at the Manchester school.
The Savile Row touch is being applied as part of a rebranding exercise that will see Parklands High School in Wythenshawe transformed into the Manchester Enterprise Academy in September.
The school has languished near the bottom of the league tables for several years and was the third worst in national truancy tables published in January.
Parents will be asked to contribute

Earrings, necklaces and other jewellery will be banned? They can't mean all, I mean, I can see really big flashy stuff being banned, but you can't wear just a set of diamond studs? That's messed up!
Why is an airport sponsoring a school anyways, this is I call Privatized Bulshit.
Hmm yes. When nothing is working and you really have no clue what to do, just make things look pretty! That always solves everything!
Talk about a waste of money. New dresses (I used that word on purpose, for tongue-in-cheek reasons) will make everything better. Right. :/
"The suits look great on the boys and girls, and they can take pride in their appearance."
No, it's so YOU can take pride in their appearance.
Another bullshit plan to make the school look good.
Marie Quayle's done similar stuff in other schools and it's worked.
It reminds me of an interview with some tough black boys at a school in London - they said they respected the headmaster because he always looked smart, but not the teachers, because they were scruffy.
