Rejected petition: Allow kids to wear what they want in school.
Rejected on
I want the government or Parliament to consider allowing children at school to wear what they want and not get punished for the littlest of issues by trying to show their natural self instead of having to wear over excessive uniform.
My reason for this is because there is a lack of diversity in schools although that's what they say they try to promote. It isn't fair that teachers can wear what they want, yet pupils across the UK get scolded for wearing a bracelet, or for wearing something that shows more of who they are rather than having to follow strict policies. School should actually do what it says it does and allow students to be unique, different, and diverse, yet school lacks all of those things.
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.
It is for the governing board of a school to decide rules about appearance, whether there should be a school uniform policy and, if so, what that should be.
This is set out in Government guidance on developing school uniform policy: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-uniform/school-uniforms
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
