That is good news as they look very scruffy now, especially the girls.

It is not good though when you have to pay for it. When Accrington Academy changed uniform they helped parents by supplying some of it IIRC

yeah they did, but i suppose its just like buying your childs new uniform for the beginning of every school year....i ALWAYS buy Reece 2 NEW school uniforms every year anyway, even if last years still fits him(i always throw the previous years uniform away), i think old uniforms start looking tatty if worn for more than one year, in Blackburn we do get a grant of around £30 towards a new uniform but this year that will only just about pay for the blazer....i dont mind paying for anything, its just when we are told we have to buy the P.E kit at a certain time that i start objecting

Am I the only one who felt the chill when 'black shirts' was mentioned?

How come Blackburn residents get a £30 grant and Hyndburn residents don't? I thought all school uniform grants had been abolished.

Different Councils Bernie, Hyndburn is under Lancashire County Council and we are under Blackburn with Darwen borough council

Different councils have different ideas on what will get them votes.

not at all Margaret, it hasnt got a thing to do with votes imo, its got a whole lot to do with how much money they have

i have always held teh opinion that if a school especialy a juniour school wants to enforce a school uniform then the school shoudl provide it

employees have to provide uniforms so why not schools

my biggest gripe is primary schools having uniforms , when i was a kid teh only juniour schools that had them were either private or snobby schools , all teh other schools went in jeans and t-shirt or whatever,
some juniour schools refuse to let your child wear a white undershirt if it dosnt have their logo on so instea dof paying £2 for it you end up paying a lot more because it has a certain logo on it

to an extent i can understand secondary schools having a uniform but there is no reason what so ever for a junior school to have a uniform

the best argumnent they have is that it keeps everyone the same , i dont want my child to be the same and also a scuffy kid is going to be the scruffy kid regardless of if its wearing a uniform or standard clothes

I disagree with you on this one.

Without school uniform you would get children turning up to school in all kinds of ridiculous, inappropriate clothing.

There would also be the issue of children being picked on for not wearing the 'in' branded clothing..........and can you imagine the fussing in a morning when they're trying to decide what to wear?

I am very strongly in favour of school uniform.
