Stop the logo madness at Heysham High (Bay Leadership Academy

Looking smart is very important and shows a level of self-respect. However, insisting pupils wear branded trousers or skirts, adding extra expenses to already tight budgets is wrong.

Uniforms are already expensive without adding more pressure on parents.

any academy that has anything other than a plain school uniform that can be bought on a budget are ripping off families. black, grey, navy blue are all easy items to find in blazers or skirts/trousers. Sew on badges need stitching - so if you must have a logo - provide a distinctive school tie at no cost. all schools by law academy or otherwise should be forced to stop logo branded uniform policies or colour streamed special blazers/skirts !

If they insist on the logo how about sew on badges?

Sorry...but we are mostly a one income family... I can only work during the summer and with 3 kids to buy for your uniform will be the most expensive. I thought academy status was to help those in socially deprived areas not add to their woes

Jumpers and blazers yes they don't go through them as quickly as trousers Also who would care about a logo on trousers. Pointless money make scheme

Many families are struggling financially. This shows how the management structure has no understanding of the area it serves

Absolutely ridiculous when some families already have serious financial constraints.

What a nonsense

Why make things harder financially ! Literally nothing is free anymore- not even supposed good fortune

Uniform is meant to not only look smart but also protect the children from the families that can't afford the latest brands from standing out and being taunted so to make these same families struggle to pay 3 times as much for pants/skirts with a logo is unfair and defetes one of the reasons we have uniforms in schools. A logo on the blazer and a tie is enough!

Who comes up with these ideas

surely saw on badges would be a better idea, cheaper for parents, as they could get generic uniform and keep reuseing the badges

This is crazy and from what I've read they haven't catered for all sizes school should be about achieving not what you wear not a parent just interested

What an utter disgrace!! After the recent news coverage highlighting the financial restraints so many famlies have in the area, you chose to charge £20 for a pair of trousers. Shame on you Heysham High (Perhaps, the senior management team are).

Ridiculously overpriced uniforms. Just let them wear plain pants or skirts. Not everyone is made of money. Whoever's stupid idea this was needs sacking.

No justifiable reason for this. They need replacing often and people are increasingly struggling to find money for the basics. Logos on jumpers is enough school branding!

Reduce the prices to the real world.

It's not only the money but fitting kids that are not "regular" size.

I see the reason for ,and completely agree with uniform,but if u really do wanna have a uniform to unite,recognise, show no kind of discrimination,look smart and get ready for the school day then lower the prices.I'm pretty sure school are not making money out of it so either do away with the logo on the jumpers and maybe allow parents to buy plain ones and just the tie or force the hands of the manufacturer and outlets and make it so u can't profit from the use of a government funded school logo or something!!
