Fund free uniform for children who get free school meals

What the petition asks
I would like parliament to consider that some parents struggle to afford branded school uniform. I think it is extremely expensive, especially as children are likely to outgrow these clothes. I think the government should consider single parents who work multiple jobs spending over £100.
I think that the government should fund schools to distribute free uniform as there should not be a divide between students who can and can't afford uniform.
