Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), said pupils should only be required to wear branded clothes on the most 'visible' parts of uniform such as blazers
It claimed parents spend £422 on average on uniform each year for children in secondary school and £287 on uniforms for children in primary school.
Under changes to the Education Act, schools in England are required to help cut uniform spending for parents, through measures such as promoting cheaper second-hand uniform options or removing unnecessary branded items from their uniform lists. However, an increasing number of families are turning to “uniform banks” to kit out their children ahead of the new school year next month as the cost of living crisis continues to bite.
