<p>It is for the governing body of a school (or an academy trust, in the case of academies)
to decide rules relating to appearance including whether there should be a school
uniform, what it will be and how it is sourced.</p><p>The Department has issued best
practice guidance on school uniform, which emphasises the need for schools to give
highest priority to cost considerations. The guidance sets out that no school uniform
should be so expensive as to leave pupils or their families feeling unable to apply
to, or attend, a school of their choice, due to the cost of the uniform. The Department’s
guidance is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-uniform"
