Just spent £280 on uniform for my daughter starting Year 7. Blazer with logo, logo jumper, logo PE kit, specific skirt from one supplier. Nothing can be bought from the supermarket.
I thought there were rules now about keeping uniform costs down? Is anyone else seething?
There is statutory guidance - schools in England are now meant to limit the number of branded items. Check your school's policy and ask how it's compliant.
I will definitely be asking.
Second hand uniform sales! Our PTA runs one every term, blazers for a fiver. Ask the school or PTA if they do one.
Some boroughs have uniform grants for families on lower incomes. Worth checking.
The worst bit is the PE kit. Specific socks with a logo. Socks! He'll lose them in a week.
Found the PTA's second hand sale, got a spare blazer and two jumpers for £15. And I've emailed the school to ask about the branded items guidance. Will see what they say.
Good on you. Schools do listen when enough parents ask.
