The people who sign below are asking that;
the pricing of the Ashhill Academy uniform be lowered to an acceptable price for local parents.
The quality of the uniform is bought up to a standard where items will remain in good wearable condition for an acceptable length of time,
and uniform is available locally.
I have been reading the messages you are sending me about how quickly these uniforms fall apart after just a few months of wear. It is heartbreaking to hear that so many families are forced to choose between groceries and a mandatory blazer. I am spending my evenings drafting a formal letter to the school board to demand a meeting about these costs.

Seeing this grow makes me feel less alone in the fight to make our school uniforms affordable and durable. It is clear that so many other families are tired of paying too much for clothes that fall apart within weeks. This momentum gives me the courage to finally take these concerns directly to the administration.

I don't think we should have to buy trousers with the logo on, they are expensive! I could get 3 pairs for that from another shop. The quality is rubbish aswell. Also the way my children grow I will probably have to buy some more later on in the year. I agree with the blazer, tie and the p.e kit but everything else we should be able to get at other places at cheaper cost.

I have 8 grandchildren 3 of which are attending the school in September. I have 50 years of sewing experience. The quality of the uniforms are of very poor quality and extremely overpriced. THE SCHOOL SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES forcing there students to wear such shabby poor quality clothing at such inflated prices.

When you have 3 children in high school it's really hard to pay what your asking for the uniform. Especially when it's poor quality. My children need 2 sets each so one is always in the wash so that 6 sets of uniform and pe kits. We work but are low income and its just unrealistic to expect us to pay this price. We could buy a car with what we're expected to spend on uniforms. It needs to be reasonable

Totally support this I've had 5 ties this year as they have all broken clips. PE T shirts are not a patch on the last uniform. Very poor quality

I have a grandchild that will be attending this school and parents should not have to struggle and make cut backs to ensure their child gets the same as others. If it was a local place at least there could be an easy payment option. Children in education should be the top of the agenda, not what they wear.

These uniforms are far too expensive when you consider many parent's are working on minimum wage job's, struggle to pay rent/mortgage or buy food. This is an unacceptable extra cost. Why can't they have super market brands which are less expensive? Please reconsider your brand supplies and compare costs with much cheaper suppliers.
