86% say branded PE kits should not be compulsory
Plans to force schools to adopt a uniform policy that is "practical" and provides "value for money" have been backed by over three quarters of people in a public consultation.
Proposals to force schools to adopt the guidance - by making the rules a statutory requirement - have been backed by 77% of those who took part in a public consultation. “Of the responses received more than 50% were from children and young people, and their top priorities were cost and comfort.” The Minister continued: “Since taking up my post as Minister, I have been clear that I want to create a system where schools, supported by appropriate legislation and policy, will ensure that their uniforms are affordable for all.
