Uniforms have been getting increasingly more expensive as schools specify branded items, such as blazers, trousers, and skirts, that can only be bought from an official supplier.

We have worked out what it would cost parents to buy one of each compulsory school uniform item that can only be bought from a nominated supplier.

For some schools, this includes items that are 'optional', like a jumper or skirt, but if a pupil wanted to wear the item it has to be from the supplier.

Schools may soon have to change their uniform requirements because a law proposed by Labour MP for Weaver Vale, Mike Amersbury, is being supported by the Government.

He is calling for schools to only be able to specify items of a uniform, and not their style.

Montsaye's uniform features trousers and skirts that can only be bought from the supplier, so if girls want the option of both trousers and skirts, they have an extra branded item to buy. The compulsory girls skort is also more expensive. The main uniform is at least 87 for girls and 74.50 for boys, before the cost of PE kit is added.
