Hi last Mounth my 11 year old grandsons school decided to bring in a new uniform and replace the tie and blazer uniform and replace it with a jumper and polo shirt uniform what's people's opinion on this ?
Current / old uniform School blazer School tie School shirt School trousers School shoes
New uniform School jumper School polo shirt School trousers Plain black footwear
Students can wear the new uniform from the start of next term but it's not conpulsary until September. My grandson wanted the new uniform so I bought it him yesterday the cost was reasonable School jumper £11x2 School polo shirt £9x2 School trousers (already got them) School shoes / plain black converse trainers from asda £7
I'm very surprised that someone who has been around since the start of GN has not come across this theme of post before. This one is a little late in the holiday don't you all think ?
Could I just ask if these Converse type shoes make their feet pong like the plimsolls/daps used to do? I have no experience of young boys wearing these. Can I just say though from a practical point of view polo shirts are easier for young children when it comes to getting them dressed again after PE - unlike when there were about 15 ties to do up after each lesson - plus a similar number of girls needing help with getting tights back on!!! Happy days and a Happy New Year to you and yours.
Good! We can now all agree that op's grandson can get back to school adequately shod and clad (but with the extra polo shirts). Job done! The End (????)
Yes the Harrods prices way too low. And you've missed out all the essential sports kits with logos Rugby shirt and shorts and boots Cricket whites and shoes Gym shirt, shirts, trainers Tennis kit and shoes Swimming and water polo kit Basketball kit and shoes Not to mention hockey, football, squash etc
Carole, I think you're being overoptimistic with your Harrod's prices! Blazer £75? Loake's shoes £15? If you can't afford Harrod's prices you'll have to look in cheaper shops and then you risk his little friends looking down on your DGS, don't you? Maybe Mummy and Daddy will share the costs?
Loakes £15? My GC wear Clarks £30-40. Polo shirts and jumpers much better, although when sweatshirts have school logos they're much more expensive. Converse and Vans are really expensive !
