File pic of children in the classroom DO YOU think all school pupils should wear a uniform? Some uniforms can be expensive and impractical – especially for parents with less money to spend on branded ties, blazers – and in some cases, even socks. However, a strong argument for a uniform is that everybody is wearing the same clothes, stopping some children being targeted by bullies in the playground.

We asked our readers on Facebook what they thought, here’s what they said: Deborah Wallington: “Yes, it helps stop the clear differentiation between richer and poorer. The last school I taught at realised that on non-school uniform days the attendance of the poorer children dropped. When asked about this there was an overwhelming response that the poorer children felt that they would be judged on their clothes.”
