Mum of y6 boy here. Ahead of me the uniform 🛒ing decisions.

In primary school they were going in sport kit to school and were staying in it all day. I understand that it is not the case in our secondary school and they change.

  1. The secondary school has branded tracksuit top with long sleeves and trousers

And as an altervative there are

2.branded shorts and t-shirt

Dear mums of kids that are already in secondary school, how many of each should I buy?

Thanks in advance

The boys at DC's school wear shorts and polo shirts for PE all year round.
@redskydarknight they play outdoors not only indoors. It is cold in the winter

They don't play indoors at all at my DC's school (or only very rarely).
Unless you live in a particularly cold part of the country, they stay warm running about.
I bought my DS the warm top and trousers for PE. He literally never wore them. Hence, my suggestion you should work out what is actually the norm/ expected at your school, so you don't waste your money too!

Ours too but none of them tracksuit bottoms, girls or boys. They do wear hoodies. Is there a Facebook page for parents you can ask?

We have one tracksuit, 2 tops and shorts/skorts and socks. But can pass down to siblings
