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 …

Badges are a big bugbear of mine. So unnecessary. If schools are so intent on them, they should bulk buy them themselves, and hand out iron on ones from the school office.

My thoughts exactly. When kids have "civvy day" it's obvious which are the kids with very little, and why I used to hate them when mine were at school. My kids were OK but not all their friends were.

I *hated* non-uniform day, because a) you *had* to donate £1 to charity (that’s a tenner for my family) and b) it really revealed who was poor and who was rich.

Schools must be banned from insisting on purchasing from stores where they get a £ kick-back. Schools should be forced to supply embroidered badges that can be sewn on rather than insisting on expensive poor quality pre-embroidered items.

Agree entirely on the badges: schools are in a position to bulk buy iron on ones very cheaply, and should give them out.

That's the idea - keep 'em down.

Only on very low incomes I don't qualify for a grant on less than average income. I can afford standard uniform stuff if I'm careful but not hyped up specific stuff at at least 4x the price and the grants wouldn't cover that either

We have to buy books. Because they change them quite frequently it's not always possible to hand them down.
