Can she wear an approximation? My 2 older ones wore approximately the right clothes in their last year of primary. (I am considered a very bad mother there).

have been trying but she has just been crying at her wardrobe door. as she wants to wear black jeans tomorow. tbh I think it is good for her to choose and know that other parents don't stick to uniform.
she has cp so has no control on anything that happens so am proud of her.

As a bad mother I'd say black jeans are fine! (On a practical level are they OK for the loo in a hurry? I assume so or she wouldn't want them). She must find so many things frustrating, if the school is accepting of individuality that is fine! Will she wear the t shirt with Minnie Mouse on it too?
