Schools: Uniforms
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to issue guidelines to independent schools about the cost of school uniforms.
- Answer
-
The government is supporting the Education (Guidance about Costs of School Uniforms) private members’ bill to enable us to issue statutory guidance on the cost of school uniform. The bill does not extend to guidance for independent schools.
In choosing an independent school for their child, parents accept and expect certain associated fees, and school uniform costs are something that they need to take into consideration as part of their decision to seek a private education for their child.
