OK, this is a particularly strong piece of evidence which NOBODY can ignore. I went to a school with a strict uniform policy and left with but one 'O' level. Went to an FE college - no uniform, 7 O levels. Went to Poly - no uniform, within a whisker of a First. Proven beyond all doubt that uniforms inhibit rather than promote academic achievement. So, you might as well just close the thread now Chris
The evidence could just point to you growing up and realising that you needed a better education than you left school with
