Limiting the cost of school uniform
- Our school has a duty to make sure that the uniform we require is affordable, in line with statutory guidance from the Department for Education on the cost of school uniform.
- We understand that items with distinctive characteristics (such as branded items, or items that have to have a school logo or a unique fabric/colour/design) cannot be purchased from a wide range of retailers and that requiring many such items limits parents’ ability to ‘shop around’ for a low price.
We will make sure our uniform:
Is available at a reasonable cost
Provides the best value for money for parents/carers
We will do this by:
Carefully considering whether any items with distinctive characteristics are necessary
Limiting any items with distinctive characteristics where possible, for example, by only asking that the jumper or cardigan features the school logo
Limiting items with distinctive characteristics to low-cost or long-lasting items
Considering cheaper alternatives to school-branded items, such as logos that can be ironed on, as long as this doesn’t compromise quality and durability
Avoiding specific requirements for items pupils could wear on non-school days, such as coats, bags and shoes
Keeping the number of optional branded items to a minimum, so that the school’s uniform can act as a social leveler
Avoiding different uniform requirements for different year groups or classes
Avoiding different uniform requirements for extra-curricular activities
Making sure that arrangements are in place for parents to acquire second-hand uniform items
Avoiding frequent changes to uniform specifications and minimising the financial impact on parents of any changes
Consulting with parents and pupils on any proposed significant changes to the uniform policy and carefully considering any complaints about the policy
