sir – If I was anticipating spending £36,000 a year on sending a grandchild to Uppingham School, the news that it allows boys to wear skirts (report, April 10) would have me very quickly suggesting to my daughter and son-in-law that there are competing schools, which encourage boys to grow to be men and girls to become ladies.
