Rejected petition Give school children a choice on whether or not they wear uniform
Some children work better in clothes they are comfortable in so they should have the option to go to school in casual clothes as long as they are sensible
More details
School uniforms can take a lot of looking after,Skirts or formal pants are not good for doing sport or running around at lunchtime,some uniforms aren't very comfortable. School uniforms are rarely fashionable.They can be expensive.You can get fed up of wearing the same old, same old every day.
You get into trouble if you don't wear uniform.The word 'uniform' means literally 'having the same form' and everyone is supposedly allowed to be different and unique, with the right to express themselves.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Decisions about whether or not to require pupils to wear a uniform are the responsibility of individual schools and their governing bodies.
