You got me thinking there about the logo on the PE kit and Hollins have it on the shirt. Don't think it is on the shorts

It is on the shorts but I suspect you could probably get away with not having it on.

I think It's called 'Branding'......at your expense.
If your children are representing the school in competition then yes.
This should be in the school budget and paid for by the education authorities.....If not...what is the point of 'Branding'?

My mistake, the logo is on the shorts as you say

Still beyond me why kids need a logo on their PE kit

Wonder if every child has the correct uniform never mind PE kit

WillowTheWhisp · 07-09-2008, 22:27

My daughter has been told that if she goes to school in any other clothing she will be sent home. It;s supposed to instill pride and encourage them to work harder.

BERNADETTE · 07-09-2008, 22:32

Sorry Willow but a logo on a PE kit

Or even on trousers it is not neccessary

MargaretR · 07-09-2008, 22:58

I would be tempted to embroider it on

what a load of crap all i see is a money grabbing opportunity for schools to reap in extra money

heres a pathetic example of this pettyness at its extreme

i forget the name of the school but its a junior school up haslingden across from the swimming baths

for years their uniform was red and all the parents bought red jumpers for their children but mid term the head teacher left and a new head teacher was appointed and her favourite colour was purple, can you guess what colour jumpers all the parents were told to buy their children with immidiate effect or pupils would face been sent home for not having the correct uniform?

some parents can get 2 terms out of jumpers if looked after properly or hand them down to younger children if they attend the same school .

naturaly excuses were made like it was time for a change and purple represents the school better but in short teachers were disgusted by this and informed the parents of the real reason for the change which was basicly on the whim of a pratt and incidently if i remeber correctly a few teachers left because they found her intollerable and impossible to work with

this was almost 2 years ago now so i guess all the school is now purple uniformed but if you ask me schools have way to much power over what children wear or where it should be bought and as long as the items of clothing are the correct colour it shoudlnt matter where they are bought

its like saying to live in accrington i have to wear green jeans that can only be bought from hyndburn council its just ludricous the control these schools have over parents who can ill afford to be ripped off in this way

It is one way of making sure they all wear the correct uniform. It stops the kids (especially the girls) from wearing what they want. That is why you see Rhyddings kids in skin tight pants and skirts up their backsides.

I'm not saying that it is, that's what the school rules are. There are even socks with the logo on.

However, I must say that I agree with Neil's point of view too about the way some of the pupils bend the rules and end up looking more like prostitutes than schoolgirls. They try to bend the rules as far as possible if they are just given a general description such as "black skirt" or "black trousers". Navy blue can be a problem too because it comes in slightly different shades and the colour can wash out and then the school complains that they are not wearing the right colour!

Accrington Academy even has socks with the logo on. Now that IS extreme!

Having a school logo is pathetic, and I dont see how they can enforce it, even when used for visiting other schools, unifroms are fine because that way people know which school kids go to if they cause trouble, logos on trousers etc? just a rip off, and I dont see that sending children home helps, what if the parents work? Oh yes, then it costs you twice, once for the school rip off and again in lost income!

The parents know the rules so it is there fault if their child is sent home. If it costs them lost income it might make them think the next time.
