Don't just write to the head. Make appointments to see them and discuss in person. If the appointment is less than satisfactory, make another. Then another. Head teachers don't have spare time to waste, you need to make this more difficult for them than implementing the change.
Ask to speak to the child's form tutor and make it their problem too, they will quickly also make it the head teacher's problem because no teacher wants to deal with this shit.

The head teacher is paid to take that shit, the form tutor isn't. No need to make life (more) unpleasant for someone who is probably up to their eyeballs with shit from the head teacher already...

Three years ago I had a moan on here about my kids' school trying to make helmets compulsory (on threat of detention) for every pupil who cycled to school. I wrote to the head about the school's lack of responsibility/liability for pupils' mode of journey, and the misguided, counter-productive nature of such a rule. It was quietly dropped.
Now I learn from my son that, starting next half-term, anyone cycling to school without a helmet will have their bike taken and locked up until a helmet is produced.
Is this even legal?
