This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Stop schools charging outrageous prices for uniform with a school logo on.
School uniform is a great idea. Its creates an identity and gives the child a certain responsiblity. The amount of uniform a child needs can pose a big cost to the parent. Is logo'd sports kits really necessary? Why do they need to be so expensive? How can schools justify the cost to each family?
More details
How can a child's blazer cost £48 when a whole suit for an adult can cost £20 from a supermarket?. I urge the government to look at the cost of school uniform and help to get the cost reduced for all.

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.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
