Some schools have created lists of approved items for all children, or offer neutral 'uniform A' and 'uniform B' options.
Uniform A includes a white open-neck blouse with a skirt or trousers, while Uniform B includes a shirt, tie, jacket and trousers.
The school says it wants to accommodate children wishing to"make a thoughtful and considered choice about the clothes worn at school in relation to their gender identity".Chancellor Jeremy Hunt promises 'to keep children safe' Valley Primary School in Kent says"all children have equal access to wearing school uniform regardless of their culture, race, religion, gender, disability or ability", while some are less explicit, with Beaumont Primary Academy in Huddersfield simply stating that its one list of uniform clothing is"worn by all pupils".
Retired head Chris McGovern, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, told the Mail on Sunday:"Schools are adding to the mental health problems of children who, after going into school, no longer know what gender they belong to".But the National Education Union says it is"not good practice to make girls and boys wear different uniforms".
A gender-neutral uniform policy allows students to"present themselves in a way that makes them comfortable and confident", it says in its advice on supporting trans and gender questioning students.
