One shop should not have carte Blanche to charge as they please for uniforms. What happened to competition?

School uniforms make a statement, the problem is that schools who use 1 supplier are not taking into consideration -
1 the affordability for all
2 not everyone has the finances to pay for the changes to uniforms
3 it’s an infringement on your human rights to be able to buy uniform within your price range
I’m all for schools having a uniform but to change it 3 weeks after you have already bought one lot is ab absolute ripoff

I absolutely agree with school uniform but the cost should be kept to an absolute minimum. My older children had standard smart black trousers with polo shirts and lovely warm sweatshirts which were comfortable to wear and so much cheaper. In these times of austerity the school governing bodies need to be doing much more to help struggling families not make things even more difficult and stressful. I would not want my children attending a school where the head teacher would rather put them in isolation for something the school themselves have created! This should never have been agreed in the first place, what were the governors thinking?!

This practice is a rip off. Let people buy uniform and supply them with badges

Where a uniform is bought is irrelevant as long as it conforms to the required colours. This is just a rip off

Prices nowadays are just ridiculous. And to be dependent on one shop too that can charge such shockingly high prices is disgusting.
There are families living in serious poverty, this needs to stop!!!!!!

This needs to change parents can’t afford the ridiculous prices and with only one supplier there is no need to be competitive

I don't think over £200 on one uniform, for one pupil, is in any way reasonable!

High schools are putting too much pressure upon parents with the massive rise in uniforms costs after changing, only being able to buy from 1 supplier, limiting our choice and being able to shop for the Best Buy. Enough is enough!!

Uniform prices are pushing parents into debt they cannot get out of. This is very serious. I will have 3 children in high school soon. I don't want to think of the costs.
Getting too expensive

Lets hope to put a stop to it. X
Nearly 400£ on my kids uniform this year!
Stop schools from bumping prices of uniform.
