<p>It is for the governing body of a school (or in the case of academies, the academy
trust) to decide rules relating to appearance, including whether there should be a
school uniform, what it will be and how it should be sourced.</p><p>The department
issues best practice guidance to support schools with setting and implementing their
uniform policy. This sets out that a school should give the highest priority to cost
considerations and achieving value for money for parents, and ensure that its school
uniform policy is fair and reasonable for all its students.</p><p>The government has
announced its plan to put the school uniform guidance on a statutory footing and will
do so when a suitable opportunity arises. This will send a clear signal that we expect
schools to ensure uniform costs are reasonable.</p><p>The department’s guidance is
attached and available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-uniform"
