Change school uniform to one that is comfortable, cheap, breathable, practical.
The Government should encourage a shift towards a different uniform by publicly advising schools to do so
A shirt, tie, blazer and dress trousers are uncomfortable to many students, while being unbearable to those with hypersensitivity. This uniform is a detriment to education according to the current accepted educational research around improving outcomes: the simple memory model. If students are too hot, uncomfortable, chafing, suffering a rash and/or feeling strangled along with other discomforts caused by the current uniform, this overloads the working memory and prevents focus on the work.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The Government isn't responsible for setting individual school uniform policies, which are a matter for schools.
You might like to sign this petition, which calls for the banning of school uniforms
