I know! My sister lives in Scotland and her local council give a grant of £50 per child in infant/junior school and £75 per child in High school. I know that the amounts given in England are less £35 and £55 I think, but that would be a big help.0 -

The problem with that is that it would be standardised to zero. That's how it works."Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

I think when I was in school it was a standard thing to get a school clothing grant if your parents were unemployed no matter where you lived. Then it changed so it was at the discretion of individual councils to decide...Durham decided not to.0 -
What a nightmare!
I went to a similar school where it was a very specific uniform - blazer, jumper, skirt etc no change out of £200 and so on. Its a real con but theres no way around it usually - the quality of the clothing is nothing compared to the price either.The early bird gets the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese :cool:0 -

I'm so pleased someone else has noticed that too. The school trousers I bought for dd last year went shiny on the knees after just a couple of months and they looked terrible. The blouses are a real pain to keep white, they have lycra in them so you can't wash them on too hot a wash so they tend to go slightly grey very quickly. I thought maybe I just wasn't washing them right LOL0
