2 :
Not every school in the UK have uniforms, but most secondary and primary schools do have uniforms. In college and so on we don't have uniforms, however there are some colleges that require uniforms.
3 :
most probably especially Hogwarts
4 :
Yes, all schools have uniform.
5 :
From what I heard from my friends who moved to UK most schools are single sex and you have to wear an uniform. Maybe its not like that in the entire UK.
6 :
At all schools I know of and have been to you need to wear a uniform(from age 4-16), however at college(at least in my own experience) you can wear your own clothes(It's different to US college, ours is age 16-18).

Yes in the UK we all wear uniforms They differ from school to school Its very annoying actually

I'm from the UK and I wore a school uniform when I was in Primary School, and I wear one now - I'm in my last year of Secondary School. Then when I go to sixth form in the school I don't have to wear the uniform but I still have to wear good presentable clothes, so no jeans...but some still wear jeans anyway. Most schools do wear uniform over here...Primary, Secondary...regular schools, private schools. I think there probably are some that don't have uniforms but the vast majority do.

I live in the UK and don't know of any school that doesn't have uniform but i'm sure there must be one out there. I know there's this weird school where they don't wear uniform but classes are also optional so it's a bit... strange. There might be a couple of private schools out there that don't have uniform but lets just say i've never heard of a school (apart from that one) that doesn't have uniform.

nope, my sister's school (James Gillespie's High School, Edinburgh) had no uniform, but I can't think of any other schools with a no-uniform policy. Oh, and in response to an earlier answerer, no they are not all same-sex, the majority are co-educational.

Yeah, i'm from Scotland and every school i know of in Scotland & England has uniforms. (My school has to wear, black trousers, white shirt, school blazer, school tie and leather shoes.)

I live in the UK. I don't know of any school that does not have a uniform here. At my old school prefects had to wear capes... it was so much like Hogwarts that it was hilarious.

Yes nearly every school in the UK have uniforms, some schools are stricter then others, my friends school had to wear black trousers and a white shirt, my school was much stricter, black skirt or trousers white shirt black and yellow tie blazer and school badge. I have been to two primary schools and a secondary school all uniform All schools wore uniform where i used to live All Schools wear uniform where i live now, We don't wear uniform to college though, well i don't i know of some that do. Most of our schools are not single sex lol .

Obviously not..? Does every school in America *not* require uniforms? No. How about those movies though, they always show them without uniforms. Does that mean ALL schools are like that..? No. Works the same for the UK... If you believe everything you see in movies, wow, no offence, but that's just plain stupid. Stereotypes are stereotypes.
