Hi all,

Apologies if this has already been covered in great detail but my first DS is starting secondary school in September. We purchased the final bits of his uniform yesterday and can't believe how much everything has cost. We must have spent in the region of £500 - I'm still shocked Shock

mum can we have a breakdown to see what cost what?

DSs sports kit cost 80 pounds, and his blazer 35.

OK, so my dd is now at the end of year 8, but it was well under £100 to kit her out - what on earth are you buying ?

That's incredible for school uniform! I've spent just over £200 on DD's new uniform, that includes shoes & new trainers Grin
Admittedly I did get given a couple of jumpers & PE tops my friend's DD had grown out of.... Still wouldn't have been anywhere near £500 though!!

That is a lot. Does that include everything? I hope so!
