David’s quote as follows; “School uniform is used as the first line of defence against bad behaviour, whether it’s inside the school or outside the school, you can tell who it is and the school can stop it.

With the new academies and league tables, there’s lots of competition between schools, and uniform is used as one way of projecting the aspirations of the school. Uniforms are definitely here to stay. I think there role in our society is more necessary than ever.”
