Amanda64 that sounds about right for my GS uniform,omitting any shoes as his last ones were new. Tesco/Asda/M n S do a good range of school clothes, we just have to buy the jumper form another shop as it has a emblem on.and tie at around £2-50 I think it's good value and I am all for school uniforms, I'm darn sure it would cost a lot lot more if no school uniform, especially with fashion conscious kids, where a pair of fashion shoes can cost anything around £50 , I can buy the whole uniform for that.
Of course once they move into high school the cost escalates as they then start with Blazers, and various things, but I think they can still bought at a reasonable price.
Many yrs ago there was only one shop! in the town who stocked the school uniforms, they must have made a killing! as they had the monopoly, it was such a relief for parents when other stores were allowed to start stocking the uniforms.
