Rejected petition: Affordable and comfortable uniforms for ALL primary and secondary schools

Rejected on

All schools should have a simple, affordable and inclusive uniform: black skirts, shorts, trousers, joggers or leggings, with a polo shirt and school-coloured jumper. This would reduce costs, give children comfortable choices, promote inclusion and help every child feel confident and ready to learn.

I believe all primary and secondary schools should adopt a simple, affordable and inclusive uniform: plain black skirts, shorts, trousers, joggers or leggings, with a polo shirt and school-coloured jumper. This would reduce costs for families, provide comfortable choices for all children, promote inclusion and ensure pupils feel comfortable, confident and ready to learn.
