Rejected To be softer on hair colour and makeup etc rules in schools

Rejected on

I believe as a student in a secondary school that for example having lets say blue coloured hair doesn't affect your education at all or having looped earrings etc.
i think that schools are being way too strict on piercing rules and hair colour etc..

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the issue you raise isn't the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The Government publish guidelines for schools on school uniform policy, but specific decisions about that policy and non-compliance are a matter for the schools themselves. You can find out more about the Government's guidance here:

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