My son has been told he has to wear a shirt jumper and blazer to school every day regardless of weather, he is not allowed any of them until instructed to do so by a teacher. Is this against his human rights??

Hasn't a child got a right to be comfortable?

These days parents and children have to sign a document to accept school rules before child attends school. You signed up so now do you bit to support school policy. Its pay up or shut up time!!

it's not human rights abuse, you can say it's civil rights abuse though impeding freedom of expression. if suddenly states come up with a law saying everyone has to wear a white dress shirt and black slacks(for example) everytime you go outside whenever no matter who you are, what your age or job is, you bet there will be a massive uproar. since children basically have no rights in this country sadly, everything that's said goes. and uniforms and a detailed dress code is just that: mindless conforming into uniformity like drones. Ever read Anthem by Ayn Rand? That is the apocalpyse of unifority where people can't even think, walk in uniform lines, and call each other by a number. Now that's scary to think about.
uniforms does not automatically turn children into geniuses in school, but it does make everything look nice and uniform that isn't so nice at all. so, it would protect children who are poor, they argue? i get the point, but how many people actually keep tabs on what people wear everyday or even that many kids who are that poor? you'd have to wear pretty much rags and a potato sack to be noticed.
schools are taking it way too far with their dress codes, saying it'll "prevent fights and violence". remember there was a 14 year old girl who made the news for being punished for wearing Winnie the Pooh socks? a dress code is only and solely necessarly to prevent kids from wearing clothing that have offensive or hate messages that could offend others or incite conflict. Sagging pants and miniskirts? for some they look distasteful, but nobody starts trouble just because.
you can compain about the policy. better if other parents think so too.

Just sounds like teachers on a power trip. Bit silly really as you would have thought they had more serious things to worry about. Shirt and tie, yes, but the rest is not neccessary. Surely it makes the pupils, hot, bad tempereed and unable to concentrate. Maybe you should appeal to the reasonable side of the Head, without harping on about Human Rights

We had the same dress code at school - most teachers aren't sadists- if it is clearly a hot day they allow kids to remove items.
Against human rights? No. Not at all. It sounds like a good school that keeps the kids in check - better than hanging around like a buncha scumbags in hoodies trying to outdo each other on whose trainers are most expensive.

Daughter's school has a similar uniform: blouse, tie, jumper and blazer, skirt and thick tights. Both jumper and blazer must be worn at all times unless permission is given, which it rarely is.

No, it is NOT against his human rights. Human rights do not include wearing whatever you want to school. They include having a fair trial, not being tortured or discriminated against because of race or religion. Not being enslaved, and the like.
Your son should be greatful he can go to school and is not working in a sweat shop factory in Thailand for Nike, where there are real human rights abuses.

Your son is EXTREMELY lucky! He is being taught that he should follow rules in his school.
It would appear that here is an establishment of education which considers "education" the main concern instead of being a babysitter.
When I went to school, they still spanked kids for misbehaving. And it was an extremely rare occurance that a kid got "rewarded" by being suspended from school. Punishments besides spankings included such things as; janitorial duties after school, suspension from sports, being banned from dances and other school functions.
These days all that happens to kids is they get suspended---the exact thing they want. No logic.
Support your son's school. Your son will respect you for it when he becomes a responsible man.

No, not against his human rights, it used to be the norm - if you don't like the enforcement of school uniform policy - send him to another school.
