School Uniform: New Rules Revealed
Guidance tells schools to confirm changes as soon as possible, consider legal advice, and lets parents complain to the government.
Schools must review uniform policies to determine if they should remove any compulsory branded items to adhere to the limit.
- Labour's schools bill will limit branded items to three at primary schools and four at secondary.
- The rules will apply to PE kit and clothes for after-school activities.
Schools must “confirm as soon as possible” and consider legal advice on any uniform changes needed for a new cap on branded items.
The government has updated current guidance and published draft statutory guidance for schools to consider before the restrictions are rolled out next September.
