What the petition asks
Require schools to temporarily suspend school uniform requirements until we are through the cost of living crisis
Families are struggling to pay bills and buy essential items. The average cost of school uniform at high schools is over £300 per pupil. This will push many families over the edge. A temporary suspension of uniform will mean families don't have to find an additional £300
