Should our school uniform be change? Or is it perfect just the way it is? What do the children think about it?

Dexter is a child that goes to this school he says ‘ I think school uniform is a good thing because it shows discipline although I also like non school uniform because it’s tells you your personality’ Ali Says ‘school uniform makes a child look smarter and more educated whereas non uniform can make a school less disciplined because it can make some children scruffy.’

P.E uniform makes a school look better in sport competitions and other lessons involving sports. Some P.E kits that children bring in are inappropriate for the lesson therefore a school P.E kit would benefit our school greatly. It gives children confidence when representing the school and the team do not feel like the odd one out when all the other schools are in P.E uniform. Lewis brown says “P.E uniform are good because its looks great when we are representing our school in competitions however, I feel more comfortable in my own clothes and trainers and I think I look good too.” School uniform makes a child feel like they’re part of a team. It’s good on school trips because you can get recognised if you’re lost. It give the teacher respect.

School uniform makes a child look smarter and more well presented however year six’s don’t look smart enough because they are head of the school they need to look smart. It helps a child think and encourages, discipline, good behaviour and concentration although uniform can be to hot or too cold therefore non uniform would be better. It is a vital tradition of the educational system but the tradition is very old and changes can be good. School uniform invokes respect in the community yet it has dull colours.
