The new statutory guidance on the cost of school uniform (DfE, 2021; see also Headteacher Update, 2021) requires you to make sure your uniform costs are reasonable and secure best value for money for parents and carers.
Schools are now required to review their uniform policies in light of the new guidance. How can we do this in line with the new guidance?
Work with governors
If you are in a maintained school, your governing board is responsible for deciding whether you need a policy and, if so, what it should be. However, in reality, governors or trustees are likely to work with you to make these decisions and then delegate the writing and updating of the policy to you.
