Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about school uniform policies for individual schools are a matter for the governing authorities for the individual school, not the UK Government or Parliament.
If you're concerned about the uniform policy of a specific school you should raise this directly with the school or your local authority.
If you want to see the government take action on school uniform at a national level, education is a devolved policy area in Wales, so this would be the responsibility of the Welsh Government and Welsh Parliament.
The Welsh Parliament has its own Petitions Committee. If you'd like to send a petition to the Welsh Parliament, you can find out more here: https://petitions.senedd.wales/
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
