Logo Badge
What can the school do if my kids dont have the correct uniform for secondary school?
Their uniform costs are extortionate and i am buying for two kids so it’s double the cost. I am buying the blazers from Marks Spencer as its cheaper and I plan to put the school logo badge on it if it is available. Can u believe its £32 for a track suit for an 11 year old. The track suit is a shell suit with a logo but theyve said I can just get black track suit. So I’ve bought a plain black one obviously its not a shell suit cos i cant find em anywhere, would that be a problem? They’ve asked for football boots, shin pads, trainers it all adds up so what if I cant afford all the exact things they ask for?
I work in a school. First thing to do is to speak to the school. Some schools have spare uniforms for parents who cannot afford it, accidents in school with uniform etc. SOme may have funds that you can take advantage of if you do not qualify for local authority assistance.
Before buying the blazer, check that the logo is available. My school logo is not available without purchasing the “official” blazer.
If you are unable to buy the uniform before the first day of term go with your child to school. Try to arrive before school start time and ask to speak to someone. Hopefully they wll assist you with a solution to the problem.
Please do not be embarassed, I feel that uniform prices are extortionate. Any good school will be considerate and hopefully this will prevent your children from being sent home. The problem is that if they are not in uniform they are breaking school rules.
