History of school uniform in

the UK
I love school uniform!
The history of school uniforms in the
United Kingdom dates back to the 16th
century. At that time, school uniforms
were worn mainly by charity schools,
which provided education to the poor.
These uniforms were simple and
practical, consisting of a smock or apron
and a hat. The aim was to create a
sense of equality among students, as
well as to identify them as belonging to
a particular school.
FUN FACT ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!

School uniform can help with

health and safety by having
clothes tested to be safer when
worn. Some fabrics can cause
skin rashes in some people,
while a uniform can be made of
comfortable fabrics. Also, loose-
fitting clothes can get caught
in machinery or playground
equipment, which limits what
activities children can do safely.
• Over the years, school uniforms have continued
to evolve. Today, they are more varied and
diverse than ever before. Some schools have
adopted a more casual approach, allowing
students to wear their own clothes within
certain guidelines. Other schools have
introduced more formal uniforms, such as
blazers and ties, to promote a sense of pride
and identity.
• Despite these changes, the core principles
behind school uniforms remain the same. They
are still seen as a way to promote discipline,
equality, and a sense of community among
students. They also have practical benefits, such
as reducing bullying and improving security.

HOW CAN THIS • it clearly states that at the start of every
scene they are in school uniform at the table
and when it goes back to the 80s for example,
DEVOLOP we need to know what school uniform was
like then because it is a key part of the play
UNDERSTANDING and is also a good visual indicator of the
audience that we have gone back in time.
