Every school nowadays seem to have some form of selection policy, and most if not all have rules regarding uniform/jewellery/attendance/subjects etc etc. Surely when you apply to send your kids to any school (faith or non faith thats state funded ) there are conditions which you have to adhere to.

No, let's not ban anything. I don't think the scarf should be banned from this school's dress code. But I do think some folks need to stop being dishonest about it, acknowledge it is an overtly religious symbol, and allow a reasonable variation in the uniform for those who choose not to wear it.
In precisely the same way as C of E schools are not permitted to mandate attendance at their own religious activities.
