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 …

Have seen other people argue that not having uniform means parents don’t have to purchase uniform. But it shows how few clothes you have! Affordable uniforms, eg polo shirts, or white shirts & black bottoms with school tie can be bought cheaply, donated, handed down to siblings

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

Replying to @DawnHFoster
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.
