NEW - DfE to cut school uniform costs
Schools will only be able to have three branded items (excluding ties) under proposed laws currently passing through the House of Lords. Analysis shows these changes could reduce the cost of uniform for families by £50 a year.
Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson, said: “Looking smart at school shouldn’t cost the earth, and no parent should be forced to choose between buying family essentials and a school shirt or tie.”
