If you’re a parent, this one’s worth paying attention to… 👀
The Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Act has finally responded to what parents have been requesting for years, and from September, the rules around school uniforms are actually changing in law. (Not just guidance!)
Here’s what’s changing:
👉 Schools can only require max 3 branded uniform items (excluding ties), no more 12-piece crested lists
👉 Uniform policies must be easy to understand & publicly available, even for prospective parents choosing a school
👉 Schools must prioritise value for money, quality, durability, sustainability, and move away from single-supplier contracts
👉 Second-hand uniform options must be actively promoted and easy to find for ALL parents, current and prospective
Platforms like Uniformd exist exactly for this reason, making that second-hand market easy to find and easy to use. 💚
Roll on September! 🎒
