How to Keep Uniform Costs Down
School uniform can be a significant expense, especially when children grow quickly. The good news is that there are plenty of ways to reduce costs without compromising on quality or meeting school requirements.
Check the Uniform Bank First
Before buying new, see what is available through Crofton Uniform Bank. Many donated items have only been worn for a short time and are still in excellent condition.
Only Buy Branded Items When Required
Many schools only require a small number of branded items. Plain shirts, trousers, skirts, PE kit and socks can often be purchased much more cheaply elsewhere.
Buy for Growth
Where appropriate, buying slightly larger sizes can help uniforms last longer and reduce the need for replacements during the school year.
Name Everything
Clearly labelled uniform is far more likely to be returned if lost, saving the cost of replacing expensive items.
