How much have you spent on uniforms ?

[badteacher]

I can believe how much more expensive it gets when they're in high school !
Today I purchased ( for 2 dc)
2 blazers
2 jumpers
2 PE tops
2 PE hoodies
The total was £1501

Also trousers, blouses , joggers, socks from TU including 25 off - £50

Two pairs of shoes ( black nike ) £90
That's £300 and I haven't even bought any stationary yet and the younger ones needs a new rucksack .
I miss primary school days .
Two Clark's shoes @ £30 each and everything else from Tesco , no blazers or ties and it was all generic :(

If you're poor you might be able to get a grant. My local council does a school uniform grant of £100 per child. Same form as the one for free school meals so easy to apply for if you're in a low income family. It's a big help. Though I know probably not all areas do this.

Considerably more than the price of a condom
