Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee


Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills submission of 11 February 2022

PE1914/B - Ban school uniforms in secondary schools

I am responding on behalf of the Scottish Government to the Committee’s letter dated 20 January 2022 in relation to Petition PE1914, raised by Matthew Lewis Simpson, which calls for the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to remove the requirement for school uniforms in secondary schools.

I note from your letter that, at your recent meeting on 19 January 2022, the Committee agreed to write to the Scottish Government to ask when we expect our proposed public consultation on school uniform guidance to be published. We do not yet have a specific date for the publication of our public consultation at this point in time, however I would expect this to happen by the summer.

I will write to you again with an update once the timescale for the publication of this public consultation has been confirmed.
