I got the biggy this year as 2 of ours starts senior school & it has to be logo/badge this & that, Mount Carmel is becoming a stickler for this & they want everything to be trutex as well!! They used to do the badges for the blazers least then u could economise on the blazer but they have stopped doing that now so i have to pay a fortune for a blazer with badge!! So be abbey street this year, & adsa poss if theres owt i can get away with

Personally i think school uniforms are defeating the object nowadays of being affordable & fair, also now double standards as far as logo's are concerned, u cant have kappa, timberland, nike, ellesse etc on yer stuff but u can have our logo instead which goes along the very same principle & inflating prices for the schools coffers even worse for those that can only get uniform from the school. Schools are identified by their school colours so no need for the emblem everywhere!! As long as u wear the school colours as in uniform u will not be excluded from school because of no logo, if the school try then contact education authority because thats what they said to my mate who's son is going to do just that!

It makes a mockery out of the whole point of uniform for me, its going to be hard on us but i do really feel for those on low incomes/benefits as the clothing grant system was abolished a few year back & notice they dont make up for it either, so some families especially senior school uniform is going to be real hardship - even more so to more than one child to cater for.
