Surely the parents know what uniform is allowed.
Trainers weren't allowed back when my sons were at school, and they're in their 40s.

My youngest 2 ages 26 and 28 now were allowed them in junior schol, but not once they went to seniors at 11.
They would have been sent home too.

Dressed the same so no one will feel inferior or superior? I'm not so sure about that.
What about the kids that have the hand me downs from their brothers or sisters. Shirts that have been washed a 1000 times, elbows that almost become see through, boys that grow so fast that their trousers aren't long enough etc....
Kids will always find something wrong with something or someone if that's the way they are inclined. It doesn't reduce bullying as far as I know and have experienced when my kids went to school.
In Holland uniforms have never been used at schools. Some kids looked smart and dressed in the latest fashion and some didn't.
I was actually dressed to the latest fashion in primary school and I was still bullied for that. Others were bullied because their mum's had to make their own clothes for their kids. Show me the logic in all that.

We all had to wear the same clothes at my school

I find it a bit odd that in 2014 school uniforms are often stricter than at my grammar school in the 50s, they did drop the requirement to wear a cap just before I started, you would have thought it would be now more relaxed.
We had a school blazer and school tie worn with dark grey trousers, white shirt and black shoes, in the summer open necked shirts were allowed and that was it.
The blazer could be purchased from the school suppliers or the Coop which were a lot cheaper but which unfortunately tended to be obvious after a while.

Ridiculous and picky rules
Have you seen what the School counts as improper shoes (it's not just a ban on trainers) or improper slacks for girls (no narrow fit)
The Head says you can get a full outfit (including shoes) for £50, nonsense, cheap and nasty stuff hardly lasts 3 washes
and thou MUST wear an ID lanyard
and all those Kids sent home - weren't we told only a short time ago, that kids couldn't afford to miss one days schooling, when they were on about holidays

The blazers at 'our' school were expensive, much more than the other school, last few years they brought a cheaper version out.
Problem was the kids wouldn't wear them, because they looked exactly that, cheap.
You might buy one outfit for £50, but you need at least two, and preferably 3 to wash and change.

I went to a secondary school and as long as the colour was right, it could be bought anywhere
Brother went to a grammar, and his uniform had to be bought from a certain expensive shop.
Mum bought his first set from here, but after that, she bought cheaper ones exactly the same colour.
I got the job of transferring the shop labels from the old set to the new set.
The blazer had a badge on the pocket, and it was easier to transfer the whole pocket than just the badge.
