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.
