myusernameha 10 #1 Posted June 17, 2014 Like Forge Valley School. Newfield has also decided to change its uniform, the powers that be have chosen A blazer with a polo shirt and jumper all have to have the new school logo. So instead of £20 for a couple of jumpers come September I have to find £200 Parents pupils and new starters were all meant to have a say but only my son who is a pupil was asked. None of the parents want this combination - no popping down to Matalan for spare polos No doubt school profit comes first. I am all in favour of uniform and think it a good thing but it has to be sensible and affordable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

cgksheff 44 #7 Posted June 18, 2014 When Waltheof & Myrtle Springs converted to academies with blazers etc. all existing pupils were given one free issue. New intake then knew what was required when they applied and bought their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jemson 10 #9 Posted June 18, 2014 Inevitable. The changes the government have made to education have forced schools to become businesses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Sat-Aer UK 10 #10 Posted June 18, 2014 All children were issued with a form outlining the changes/options and this contained a voting form. We received one, was brought home by our Y7 daughter and she took it back. We also received a letter (again daughter brought it home) informing us of the results and costs etc. They received 600 returns out of 900 pupils Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
