Rejected petition Ban school uniform/Smart attire in schools

Allow pupils in Primary/secondary/sixth form to come to school with their own clothes instead of wearing school uniform.

More details

1. Generally many pupils wear school uniform more than once and due to Covid this is very unsafe.
2. School uniform can be expensive for families from poorer backgrounds
3. Pupils would be more comfortable and feel more free wearing their own clothes rather than school uniform.
4. Some schools don’t offer summer wear, it can be too hot, students can lose concentration.
5. School uniform is boring when you wear it 5 days a week.
