School Uniforms

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

Our school sells the uniform themselves, and I believe the local town uniform stockists do too. Not sure though - DH just bought the uniform on DS's first day of school.

DS needs a school logo jumper, pe t-shirt and book bag. He can have a plain polo shirt or a school logo one. Grey trousers/shorts and pe shorts are plain (for girls, summer dresses are without logo and in supermarkets). Black socks (that's the hardest!) and shoes. His previous school was the same, just different colour shirts and shorts, so can't re-use the non-branded things.

TBH, it isn't that hard. I wouldn't have a problem with a school blazer either, so long as it wasn't fifty quid a blazer while he was in primary. Jumpers can be expensive, especially as DS likes to eat his clothes. I don't really like him in polo shirts for school, I'd much rather him wear a shirt. I know, practicalities with buttons and all that, but looks so much nicer than the polo shirt. I send him in wearing a shirt on school photo days!

eta - Onyx, while DS wouldn't be sent home for a school-coloured shirt, he would be sent home for uniform breaches. If he wears jewellery (even in school colours) it is taken from him and put in his bag. Uniform breach sanctions vary from school to school, but not every school will allow children turning up without a uniform.
