A new gender-neutral school uniform policy will be introduced in a primary school in Greystones.

The move by St Brigid's National School means boys would be allowed to wear skirts and girls to wear trousers.

Up to now, the schools policy meant girls wore a green tartan school pinafore, while boys wore grey trousers and a green jumper.

The change in policy was as a result of a decision made by the school's student council.

Chairperson of the school's board of management, Tom Sherlock, has said " Provided the uniform is compliant with the school's uniform policy, that satisfies our requirement."

Toilets

The student council has also voted to change the  separate boys and girls toilets at the school in to  gender-neutral versions.

The school says they're aiming to make children with gender-identity issues feel happy and accepted.

The changes will come into effect from next September.
