A period of grace till January would help so many people a black pair of trousers and a white shirt and a grace on schools shoes
Many parents are worried about how to pay or if they can get the uniform on time and are worried what’s to come
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
There is no legislation in place that deals specifically with school uniform or other aspects of appearance, so it is for the governing body of a school to decide whether there should be a school uniform policy and if so what that should be. This would include making decisions about any exemptions to a school's policy due to Covid-19.
We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
Prevent schools from requiring uniform bought from specific shops: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/332196
Fund school uniform: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/329487
You could start a petition calling on the Government to prevent schools from imposing rules on a school uniform this autumn, if that is what you want to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
