This isn't a ban on the niqab because it is a religious item of clothing (unlike France). This is a decision that supports a Head Teacher's right to enforce their own uniform code. The school in this case has a uniform policy and the niqab is not included in this.
It is a more contentious case than previous ones as the girl has two older sisters who attended the school and were alloed to wear the veil under a different Head. This Head however believes that the niqab is a barrier to effective communication and should not be worn in the classroom.
