Prevent schools from requiring uniform bought from specific shops

What the petition asks
Schools in the UK can create their own systematic monopolies by enshrining in policy that students must wear uniform bought from particular shops. In a free market, this should not be allowed.
Many schools across the country punish students for not wearing uniform bought from these particular shops, usually by putting them in some form of separation from other students, such as in isolation. This is a great issue as it not only disrupts the student's education, but punishes the student for an issue they may not be able to handle.
