FROM blazers and ties to smart skirts and trousers, most schools have a uniform policy for students to follow.
Wearing a uniform is part of everyday life for many students attending primary and secondary schools.
But should school uniforms be scrapped to allow children to have their own individuality?
We asked our readers what they thought.
Here's what they had to say.
One reader said: "Absolutely not.

"Uniform means all kids are equal - no competition or feeling less than adequate because of the clothes they wear.
"It also facilitates a sense of inclusion and representation.
"And it reduces the debate about what to wear in the morning (therefore reducing challenges for parents... which has to be a bonus."
Echoing this, another reader said: "No definitely not.. some parents can’t afford to buy all brand name things so it will make the kids stand out that don’t have it and would only result in bullying and upset for them children."
Another added: "No! I think it is nice for all to wear the same in a school.
"Sadly appearance plays a big part in our lives and I think it leaves it wide open for issues such as bullying for not having the 'in' clothes/trainers etc.
"I do however disagree with having to buy uniform from suppliers that are so highly priced."
There was concern from others that school uniforms can be expensive.

One reader said: "No, keep the uniforms but stop certain shops charging so much for logo’d uniforms! Some charge ridiculous prices, especially when kids lose them all the time!"
One reader said the school uniforms should be scrapped because it would "save parents a fortune".
Another said: "I think it should be made more affordable and more comfortable."
There were also suggestions that school uniforms should be less restricted.
One reader said: "PE kits should be the uniform. Ridiculous trying to play football etc on a school field at lunchtime in what is essentially office wear."
Another added: "No but I do think that they should be more suited to play, particularly at primary levels."
