Rejected petition: Introduce a bursary to help pay for uniform & equipment in year 10 and 11.
Rejected on
I'm a year 10 student with my active citizenship class. We are trying to help people who struggle paying for equipment and uniform.
So people who are struggling can still afford new uniform and new equipment. Especially in year 10 and 11 because that's when you need the most equipment leading up to your GCSE exams.
