I found several pieces on the website, but I need to do a bit more research today as the school is now an academy and I need to work out whether that affects the impact the DfE guidance has on them. I'm also going to see if the minutes of the Board of Directors meetings are available on the school website.Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875708145472914122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-63573689209469898832013-04-20T19:07:08.300+01:002013-04-20T19:07:08.300+01:00If you go on the DfE website and put "school ...If you go on the DfE website and put "school uniform" into the search facility, it should throw up a good article about the governors' responsibility to ensure uniform is a reasonable price.

Sometimes the girls say I get in a tizz over things which aren't that important, but I do think this could be a big issue for some families.Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875708145472914122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-47240972493523916722013-04-20T15:50:50.247+01:002013-04-20T15:50:50.247+01:00You make some really good points here.

I think that sometimes busy Headteachers who do much of their shopping online with credit cards forget that many families operate their finances differently.<br /><br />all the best with your email!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-85338623922181155702013-04-20T09:19:11.386+01:002013-04-20T09:19:11.386+01:00I live on the internet.

A quick google found 5.2 million households in the UK without internet access. The financial implications also are so hard. Thank goodness you're awake enough to think about it. Good luck!

An apparently appropriate size would turn about to be about three sizes too large and it is so much more complex to return items to an online store.<br />The change in uniform also ruined the second hand uniform market for some time. Old uniform was unsaleable and there was no new uniform to be had second hand.DeliveringGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320150355352857841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-72108882714474521882013-04-20T08:58:49.128+01:002013-04-20T08:58:49.128+01:00I too feel strongly about this too. amazed at the ...I too feel strongly about this too. amazed at the prices they plan to charge..... 7.50 for a polo shirt!!!!menopausalrunninggirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494325526369092474noreply@blogger.com
