These are all great aims, especially free school meals during holidays, but school uniform is so important! Schools without uniforms make it even easier to spot kids who live in povertyhttps://twitter.com/mcash/status/1305127202237882368 …

Similarly, schools that insist on hard to purchase colours, or worse still, that you have to buy from certain shops are knowingly entrenching poverty.

Agree with this 100%. There was a recent piece in Croydon on the added stress of parents queing six hours for £300 uniforms. Families said they wished they could buy from the school instead of Hewitts catering to 80+ schools.https://www.mylondon.news/news/south-london-news/croydon-school-uniform-term-dates-18847256 …

Uniform should be done away with. whoopsadaisy, I sound like Cummings trying to be more “google” with the work environment.

Have argued this for years. Lost the battle with primary school governors who went from polo shirt/plain skirt to shirt/tie/checked skirt. Just had to go for that "exclusive" look

My elder boys’ school had generic black blazer and trousers w white shirt. Badge bought separately and sewn on. Tie. Whole uniform cost about £30-40. Then decided to provide blazers with badge embroidered on and cost shot up.

With school badges that can be sewn or ironed on to save on having to get branded.

It's the blazers which reveal the difference in socio/economic status. There is a variance in quality.

Some schools I know of have a supply of new and second hand uniforms of varying sizes to give to students if they cannot manage to buy them.
