Require schools to adopt activewear for school uniforms

Petition Details

Enforce activewear (unbranded) for school uniforms to encourage children to be more active at school, and to engage in active travel. Schools encourage physical activity, but many children are required to wear unsuitable uniforms (blazers, shoes, skirts) which restrict physical activity.

Additional Information

Research shows the benefits of physical activity, yet most children do not meet the Chief Medical Officers guidelines. Levels of physical activity have reduced during Covid. How can we get children to be active at school, when they are restricted by blazers, ties, shoes and skirts? How can we encourage physical activity throughout the whole day (not just during PE). Unbranded, activewear would enable more children to be active and encourage schools to provide more physical activities in school.
