Written question asked by Austin Mitchell (Labour) on Tuesday, 6 December 2005, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 8 December 2005. It was answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern (Labour) on Tuesday, 13 December 2005 on behalf of the Department for Education and Skills.
Academy Schools
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many academy schools require pupils to wear school uniform; how many of these are in local education authority areas where grants are provided for uniforms; and how many of these schools provide grants themselves.
- Answer
-
Academies are independent state schools, and so they are free to adopt the school uniform policies they consider appropriate. The Department does not hold information centrally about which local authorities offer school uniform grants to schools, nor do we require schools to tell us how they allocate their own funding for items such as school uniform grants.
