This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Allow students to wear clothing they feel comfortable in instead of uniform.
Students should have the freedom of expressing them selfs. Wearing uniform takes away their unique identity. Students should be allowed to wear clothing they feel comfortable in and clothing that makes them feel like them selfs instead of feeling like office workers.

I feel that the government should allow kids to wear their own chose of clothing as teachers can identify students by their clothing (giving teachers a taste of what students are like.) Children should not be wearing uniform to make them feel like factory workers. If government allows this, students would also be more excited to participate in school as they would feel more comfortable then wearing a suit.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This is a matter for individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament. Schools set their own uniform policies, which could include allowing students to wear their own clothes to school.
You could start a new petition calling on the Government to ban mandatory uniform policies in state schools, if that's something you'd like to see happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
