We want the Government to require secondary schools to allow children to wear their PE kit all day on days when they have PE, including allowing them to come into school wearing PE kits.

Mandate all schools to provide at least two PE lessons per week
We call upon the Department for Education and the Government to require all primary and secondary schools to provide at least two physical education (PE) lessons per week as part of the national curriculum.
Require teachers to follow the school uniform standards as pupils
Introduce guidance requiring teachers in secondary schools to follow the same or equivalent uniform standards as pupils. We think this would ensure fairness, consistency and non-discriminatory enforcement of school dress codes.
Require schools prioritise comfort in uniforms & more personal choice for pupils
Require schools to specifically prioritise comfort in uniforms and more personal choice for pupils in what they find to be more comfortable clothing. This could include schools explicitly permitting less formal clothing such as leggings or jeans, maybe even joggers, depending on preference.
Introduce self-defence lessons into the PE curriculum in all secondary schools
I think all secondary schools should teach basic self-defence within PE lessons so that students not only have the skills to protect themselves, but the discipline to use those skills when necessary.
Require all schools to provide adaptive sports equipment for disabled pupils
Establish a statutory requirement for all schools to provide adaptive sports equipment, including a sports wheelchair, to ensure equal access to physical education for all disabled pupils and to promote inclusive physical education.
