A leading privately-run boarding school in the UK will allow boys who wish to wear a skirt to make it a uniform choice. Maloney was reacting to British television doctor Christian Jessen, who studied at Uppingham boarding school from the age of seven, saying that he might have opted to wear a skirt at school if he had been given the choice. Jessen, who is a gay, spent three years at Uppingham when it was a boys-only boarding school. The school now fully co-educational, with girls required to wear grey skirts and white shirts, while boys wear charcoal trousers and white shirts. While girls wear a red sweater, boys have black and both wear black blazers.
