Schools are underfunded, selling the uniform is one way of getting a little bit of extra revenue. Fortunately, my daughter's school (where Zack starts in september) don't insist on a specific supplier or by buying it from themselves. So I buy their sweaters from school (£13 when I could get it a lot cheaper elsewhere) but buy skirts and shirts (£2.50 from Asda when they cost £6 from the school).

When I went to school buying the uniform was a complete week's wage for my parents and a specific trip to Gray's. Now, they can be picked up in Asda or anywhere else for a fraction of the cost so I'm not complaining about it.
