The headteacher is being a snob that is abusing his authority for no good reason. He needs to remember that he is an educator and not a detective for the Fashion Police.
Uniforms in most schools are just a ****ing racket to squeeze money out of parents anyway.

Why do we never see parents who've paid for their kids to go to a good school, moaning in the press about the uniform, when it's almost always a much stricter uniform code than state schools. The whole thing about getting the press in to make a fuss detracts much more from the kids' learning than actually following the rules in the first place.
I'd much rather have a strict uniform code, which reinforces the idea that there is discipline in schools, than have the kids in designer wear ripping the piss out of the kids wearing Primark. I remember secondary school... I remember kids emerging, dripping, from the fish pond because they didn't have the right bag.
