I Had Or Have To Wear A School Uniform

I wore uniform throughout my school years. It was shorts until 14. With long grey socks and black lace up shoes.
Pe was done barefoot throughout. Until age 12 boys did it in just underpants and girls wore vest and pants. At comprehensive boys wore white shorts only inside the gym. No underpants were allowed. Girls wore white shorts and white vest.
Until comprehensive boys and girls undressed together in the classroom and then we all filed down a long corridor to the school hall in just our underwear

My primary and upper (state grammar) school was uniformed, and their modern versions still are. Many boys including me to my annoyance, wore shorts till the end of the Second Year (12-13).

The PE and Games lessons in the senior school were segregated though, so to keep consistent class sizes (around 30, mixed) two forms would combine for them.

No underpants under PE shorts seems to have been a common rule in our day. I thought it was just at my school, as until its new home was completed we were in old buildings whose changing-rooms had no showers at all.

By sheer fluke I still have my school PE shorts and sometimes still wear them around the house and grade, plus a modern pair good enough to wear outside.

Was this a Catholic school by chance?
