Rejected petition Ban compulsory branded uniforms due to Covid19's impact on families

Ban branded uniform for the academic year 2020/2021, at least, preferably altogether, as Covids impact will be long lasting, with parents getting into debt to cover essential living.

More details

With many parents furloughed and struggling, Branded school uniforms costing around £200 per child, should be no longer a requirement of attending schools.
This will create a barrier to education if parents on 80% wages are unable to afford it, and many children may then not be able to attend education at all, or face detentions and punishments for something out of their control.

This petition is to ask the government to ban compulsory branded uniform due to the impact of Covid19 on families.
