Schools to be told to sell second-hand uniforms to keep costs down for parents

Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi said:"School uniform provides a sense of identity and community for children and young people, and should be a real source of pride. But it must never be a burden for parents or a barrier to pupils accessing education.

Mark Russell, chief executive of The Children's Society, said:"For too many years the cost of school uniform has been a heavy financial burden on many families, causing money worries and even debt, so these new guidelines to make sure school uniforms are affordable are extremely welcome. "Importantly, it reinforces that the majority of schools are already doing the right thing and, in most cases, will already be fully, or almost, compliant."
