i think haslingden high have just introduced a peice of kit to their uniform or p.e kit that cant be purchased anywhere else and is double the price you would normaly pay.Its a disgrace how much control schools are allowed over where you purchase your childs uniform from.Schools used to have fund raising events if they needed some extra cash but now they just take the easier route of ripping off teh parents  |
You could only buy school uniforms from designated outlets when I was at school accyman, and believe me that is a very long time ago
