Require schools to allow pupils to wear PE kit for the full day on PE day

Petition Details

As a response to Covid, many UK schools have had students wear school PE kit, rather than full uniform, on days when they have PE. An obvious break, from the traditional way that UK schools have approached dress, it has proven popular with staff, parents & students alike, for a variety of reasons.

Additional Information

The multiple benefits of going into school in PE kit, on days when a child has a PE lesson, outweigh any desire to cling to tradition. Let’s support this simple way to; gain teaching time that is lost when children change at the beginning and end of every PE lesson, reduce lost property, help students with additional needs, save parents’ time & money, reduce battles & discomfort over daily full uniform, and do away with the anxiety & embarrassment many face over public changing.
