The world's oldest and oldest school uniform

The Blue Coat (Blue Coat) of Christ's Hospital in Horsham (CH) is considered to be the earliest school uniform in the world, which is also specially called "Housey" by students ". The blue robe uniform is the abbreviation of the clothing worn by the students of the "School in Blue Uniform" (Bluecoat Schools) in the United Kingdom. It is also synonymous with the school founded by the church. Horsham Christian Public School is both a pioneer of the school in blue uniform and a model for maintaining the traditional school uniform. The blue school uniform originated from the quaint blue uniforms worn by former students, similar to the robes worn by priests, and Gunico silk pants and stockings. This coat is ankle-length, sleeves fit well down to the waist, has rich folds, and is made of thick, dense woolen cloth. The white scarf on the uniform is derived from the similar collar worn by clergy in the 18th century. At the same time, during the George period, Gunico silk pants were also added to the entire outfit. The front of the coat is pinned to a row of silver buttons, each with a relief image of King Edward VI (King Edward VI). The coat is worn with shorts, which have three silver buttons on each knee. This famous local blue robe school uniform has been used as a daily school uniform for students since the school was founded in the Tudor era, and the design has not been changed much.

A unique, majestic landscape

Horsham Christian Public School is a famous traditional public school in England, founded in 1552 by King Edward VI. The original school was founded in London, and in 1902 moved to West Sussex (Horsham) south of the suburbs. It is a boarding school, the school originally only for boys, now the school provides educational services for boys and girls. Since Horsham Christian School is a boarding school, students always have to wear floor-draped uniforms to and from school to home. In the past years, whenever the new school year began, boys in blue uniforms and yellow socks would be seen driving to school at the subway terminals everywhere, forming a special, majestic and beautiful scenery. It is said that due to the long wearing of a thick skirt robe that supports an eye-catching length below the ankle and has a large capacity of folds, a neat and rhythmic, elegant and majestic gait can gradually form among boys. On "St.Matthew's Day" in September every year, the delegation of Kleist Charity School is marched in a procession by the school's music conductor. When walking through the city of Lenko, their distinctive clothes can arouse the excited discussion of puzzled audiences every time.

The same blue uniform (Blue Coat)

According to the Daily Mail, students at Horsham Christ School in England have been wearing Welsh-style school uniforms for centuries: a long blue coat fixed with a silver badge, a white linen scarf around the neck, a long, narrow belt, Gunico silk pants, yellow stockings and black leather shoes, and a loose collarless shirt inside the coat. In 2010, the principal of the school wanted to replace the students with new modern uniforms, so he asked the students to vote on the matter. The result of the vote was unexpected. 95% of the more than 800 students in the school wanted to keep the traditional school uniform. The students thought this traditional school uniform was the pride of the school. They affectionately called this blue robe "a treasure at home". As a result, the students of Horsham Christ School are still dressed in the clothes of hundreds of years ago and proud of it. Alumni of the school proudly call themselves Old Blues.

The blue robe uniform has a long history and special status in the UK. Although there are many inconveniences in wearing blue uniform, as the oldest school uniform in the world, it is unique. It has been endowed with profound historical connotations. It is a symbol of faith and honor. You will not be ignored, you will feel solemn and confident. This also reflects the status and role of the church in the field of education at that time, and also shows that the system of wearing uniforms in English church schools is very complex, strict and dogmatic. Of course, this also fully reflects the inherent conservative, immutable and conformist character of the British.

Most of these schools that have long existed today have long ago abolished wearing blue uniforms and replaced them with more fashionable clothes, but have retained the name of the school. However, for the needs of some special occasions, a considerable number of schools still retain the "blue uniform".
