That is good news as they look very scruffy now, especially the girls.

It is not good though when you have to pay for it. When Accrington Academy changed uniform they helped parents by supplying some of it IIRC

Re: Rhyddings NEW P.E kit

yeah they did, but i suppose its just like buying your childs new uniform for the beginning of every school year....i ALWAYS buy Reece 2 NEW school uniforms every year anyway, even if last years still fits him(i always throw the previous years uniform away), i think old uniforms start looking tatty if worn for more than one year, in Blackburn we do get a grant of around £30 towards a new uniform but this year that will only just about pay for the blazer....i dont mind paying for anything, its just when we are told we have to buy the P.E kit at a certain time that i start objecting

Am I the only one who felt the chill when 'black shirts' was mentioned?

Re: Rhyddings NEW P.E kit

How come Blackburn residents get a £30 grant and Hyndburn residents don't? I thought all school uniform grants had been abolished.

Re: Rhyddings NEW P.E kit

Different Councils Bernie, Hyndburn is under Lancashire County Council and we are under Blackburn with Darwen borough council

Re: Rhyddings NEW P.E kit

Different councils have different ideas on what will get them votes.
There was some quite loud chuckling at Germaine Greer's lecture today when she expressed an opinion on hanging baskets ;)

Re: Rhyddings NEW P.E kit

not at all Margaret, it hasnt got a thing to do with votes imo, its got a whole lot to do with how much money they have

lets not go off thread hey :)

Re: Rhyddings NEW P.E kit

a friend of mine went to rhyddings to get the new pe kit and it cost here 45pound , i have to boys at rhyddings and there goin into year 11 in sep , so i refuse to buy the new kit , and if the school don,t like it then they can buy it , im not , not for about 7month coz thats how long there will be there , if you take out all the holidays , and im only gettin the pants shirt and jumper , not gettin tie , coz they don,t have to wear them , i feel realy sorry for these parents who child or children or goin into year 10 , coz they have to buy everythin ,

Re: Rhyddings NEW P.E kit

Re: Rhyddings NEW P.E kit

oh and i forgot to say that there is a petition in abbey st shopping centre to see if they can sell the p.e kit, i signed it the other day

Re: Rhyddings NEW P.E kit

i have always held teh opinion that if a school especialy a juniour school wants to enforce a school uniform then the school shoudl provide it

employees have to provide uniforms so why not schools

my biggest gripe is primary schools having uniforms , when i was a kid teh only juniour schools that had them were either private or snobby schools , all teh other schools went in jeans and t-shirt or whatever,
some juniour schools refuse to let your child wear a white undershirt if it dosnt have their logo on so instea dof paying £2 for it you end up paying a lot more because it has a certain logo on it

to an extent i can understand secondary schools having a uniform but there is no reason what so ever for a junior school to have a uniform

the best argumnent they have is that it keeps everyone the same , i dont want my child to be the same and also a scuffy kid is going to be the scruffy kid regardless of if its wearing a uniform or standard clothes

Without school uniform you would get children turning up to school in all kinds of ridiculous, inappropriate clothing.

There would also be the issue of children being picked on for not wearing the 'in' branded clothing..........and can you imagine the fussing in a morning when they're trying to decide what to wear? :eek:

I am very strongly in favour of school uniform.

Re: Rhyddings NEW P.E kit

I know, I was just saying that to accyman when he said he was against uniforms for primaries. :)

Re: Rhyddings NEW P.E kit

Maybe the head has decided who should be the new role model for your kids:rolleyes:
