[A new law aimed at making school
uniforms cheaper in England and Wales will not be in place in time for the start of this school year. Headteachers are waiting for the new statutory guidance on uniforms, which will make schools place affordability at the centre of their uniform policy. The government says schools should expect full details in the autumn. But that means parents will not benefit from the changes as schools go back this September. According to The Children's Society, the average uniform costs £315 per primary school pupil and £337 per secondary pupil. Mike Amesbury, the Labour MP who first introduced the legislation, said he would be "incredibly disappointed" if any further delays to the guidance meant that the changes weren't fully in force for the start of the next academic year, beginning in September 2022.] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58359541 Debated all day on Radio and TV.
