This is a uniform question for an uninitiated parent. How many pinafores/skirts does my daughter need for reception? I've bought two, along with half a dozen polos. I'll be doing her laundry every other day. She's quite careful and neat by nature, but not sure if schools gonna be carnage!

Thank you 😊

I have 4 dresses/pinafores for my dd and a skirt for pe day. Didn't plan to get that many just sort of happened lol. It's more than enough I'd say 3 would have been enough. Especially if you need to air dry them. I've got 2 polos and 2 shirts and I feel we cld be doing with maybe another shirt or polo but I'm not buying anymore for now. Also got 2 cardigans and a school fleece for the colder weather.

I can get away with two pinafore dresses or skirts for my daughter as she stays very clean at school. My sons on the other hand both end up covered in paint, pen, food, mud from playing football, grass stains etc. so they each have 5 pairs of trousers & 5 shirts so that I get it all washed, ironed and put away on a Saturday ready for the next week. I only ever buy two jumpers/cardigans each year for my children. The school is so hot they generally take them off and screw them up in their bags straight away so stay quite clean and we have to have logo ones at £21 each so I refuse to buy anymore than two each!
