Parents still spending 'exorbitant' sums on uniforms despite rules meant to cut costs, says charity.
Parents are still being forced to spend hundreds of pounds on school uniform despite rules meant to lower the costs.
Under changes to the Education Act last year, schools in England are meant to be helping cut costs for parents. That could be by promoting cheaper second-hand uniform options or removing unnecessary branded items from their uniform lists. "There are a lot of things going up, and the price of uniforms definitely adds to it," she told the BBC.Mark Russell, chief executive of The Children's Society, said it was "alarming" that parents were still having to spend "exorbitant" amounts on school uniforms.
Back in 2020 the charity found that parents of secondary school pupils were spending significantly less on uniform, at £337 a year on average. Parents of primary schools kids were spending slightly more, at £315.
