wearing trainers doesn’t affect our learning
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 choose their own school shoes.
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.
