Some schools had coveralls for the boys. The ones we noted were blue. This was usually the schools that had the children wear their uniforms all the time they were at school, even after classes and on the weekends. Once the boys pulled on their coveralls they could romp about the grounds without having to worry about getting their uniforms dirty. The younger boys in particular love to build forts/dens in the wooded area of the grounds. This is often a muddy undertaking as it rains so much in Britain. But even if just for used around the main play areas, the coveralls proved very useful. We did not notice a lot of schools which had coberalls for the boys, but several schools did. They would often be combined with wellies.
