I had two £35 blazers (they reccomended buying 2), two long sleeved shirts and two short sleeved £30 between them, two pairs of trousers £30 between them and a pair of school standard shoes £35. That alone is £130. Then Factor in every time I need new things because I've grown, or gone up a shoe size.

tbf though a pair of decent trainers is 80 quid these days and get your Mum buying you two blazers, mine got one big one, sleeves down around their ankles in year 7 and up to their elbows by Year 11

I took my son out the other day and the trainers were 110.00 quid I nearly died
