Majority of UK Parents Find School Uniform Costs Unmanageable

Government plans new legislation to limit branded items in school uniforms, aiming to reduce financial strain on families.

A recent survey found 67% of secondary school parents struggle with uniform costs.
The proposed law will cap the number of branded uniform items schools can mandate.
Current guidelines already advise minimizing branded items, but many schools haven't adjusted policies.
Critics argue that further restrictions could inadvertently increase costs and create inequalities.
Supporters believe the changes will alleviate financial pressure and promote equal opportunities.
