Kids school introduces new uniform

[Orange30]

Hi my 13 year old daughters and 11 year old sons school introduced a new uniform just before Christmas half term replacing the shirt tie and blazer uniform and bringing in a polo shirt and jumper uniform. What's people's opinion? Students can wear the new uniform from tomorrow but it isn't conpulsary until September. I bought my daughter and son the new uniform the cost was pretty reasonable
School jumper £11x4 2 each
School polo shirt £9x6 3 each
Already got school trousers
My daughter weares her plain black vans as school shoes
My sons school shoes cost £6 plain black converse from asda

Why does OcUK rank so highly for school uniform talk? (IronWarrior? )


It seems a bit unfair to change the uniform but I guess if they're not making profit on it it doesn't really matter. Would be nicer if they ate the costs initially for the first iteration.

A tech forum, the perfect place to discuss school uniform pricing!

Are you running Windows 10? I would reinstall the uniform or maybe do a refresh without affecting your ties.

Same spammers from the same company, always advertising asda.

This is a general discussion page ?

At secondary school the uniform should be shirt and tie, IMHO and changes should take place at the end of the year (also IMHO). I'm sure they have a good reason for doing it - change in logo maybe?

Edit: I thought SATA replaced the need for jumpers.
Edit2: IBtL.

Hmmmmmmmm.

polo shirt is probably more sensible as a 'uniform' for kids than blazer, tie, shirt etc..

easier for poorer families too (though I guess they can sometimes get kitted out at second hand clothing sales etc...)

Lets see where this goes .

Are the jumpers set to short or open? You really only should touch them when you need to reset BIOS due to a bad overclock.

You should have read the faq, its got everything about the uniform we have to wear to be a member.

Good news tbh. The whole shirt/tie/blazer thing could do with change if nothing else than for the reason of being more comfortable!

Also it would be nice never to have to tell another student to "do up your collar" or "fix your tie" or "tuck your shirt in"...
