RIP-OFF branded school uniforms costing three times as much as regular supermarket options will be banned by the government.
Schools Minister Nick Gibb today backed a private member's bill brought by Labour MP Mike Amesbury to stop schools requiring the rip-off branded uniforms. Mr Gibb said: "School uniforms should always be affordable and should not leave pupils or their families feeling that they cannot apply to a particular school."
The Department of Education already advises that no uniform should be "so expensive as to leave the pupils or their families feeling unable to apply to, or attend, a school of their choice."Nearly one in six families said the cost of school uniforms caused them to cut back on food and other basics, compared with one in seven in 2015.
