It's Thursday and you're watching Newsround.

:00:00.:00:07.

Off to a flying start - the Paralympics kick off in Rio.

:00:08.:00:14.

And the record-breaking jumping llama.

:00:15.:00:28.

First up, we're talking about what you wear to school -

:00:29.:00:31.

This week one school forced lots of students to go home

:00:32.:00:35.

because they weren't wearing the right uniform.

:00:36.:00:37.

Whether it's a shirt, blazer or tie -

:00:38.:00:45.

school uniform is part of everyday life.

:00:46.:00:50.

But this school in Margate in the south-east of England has

:00:51.:00:53.

been turning children away for not wearing the right clothes.

:00:54.:00:57.

They're not plain black leather shoes, they've got colour on them,

:00:58.:01:01.

More than 50 have been sent home from Hartsdown Academy, for not

:01:02.:01:10.

sticking to the school's dress code, including Kimberley.

:01:11.:01:12.

I was really angry because I came in on Tuesday

:01:13.:01:15.

and was ready for school, in full uniform.

:01:16.:01:17.

But she was wearing black suede shoes -

:01:18.:01:20.

I then got given a letter and just got sent home.

:01:21.:01:25.

So what is on the school's check list?

:01:26.:01:28.

When it comes to shoes, no trainers and no canvas shoes.

:01:29.:01:31.

No skinny trousers or leggings - they have to be

:01:32.:01:36.

The new rules have angered some parents, but the head teacher

:01:37.:01:41.

says uniforms improve behaviour and grades.

:01:42.:01:45.

Actually, taking a stand where we say, we care

:01:46.:01:47.

about you so much that even uniform, even these things matter because

:01:48.:01:51.

we think you matter, ensures that children believe in themselves

:01:52.:01:55.

There are now reports of other schools who've been turning

:01:56.:02:01.

away their students because of their uniform -

:02:02.:02:04.

including in north Wales and Gateshead in the

:02:05.:02:06.

We want to know what you think about this.
