i always found when buying shoes [which i do for grandchildren ] it pays to spend money they last longer .

It's an unwritten rule . .the more expensive the uniform the better the school

 

[Imsj]

Pumps?
Kids need properly fitted shoes.

Nah they don't pumps are fine well my son needs new ones as his are about to fall apart but will buy them both a new pair in Easter holidays

Well that's wrong as my kids school has the cheapest uniform in the area but the best ofstead rating

I'm showing my age here but In the mid 90s the cost of the blazer for my girl's high school was £65!..at the time I was more than happy to pay it believing it to be a top school but it turned out to be not so good after all .. .So that unwritten rule may very well be wrong..

 

[Imsj]

My blazer was £120

Ouch my kids jumpers are only £11 each
