Parents against uniform change in 2022

We the parents of Birley Spa Academy are not happy with the proposed uniform change . During the consultation period we was told only the outer wear would be changing (cardigan/jumper) and the earliest this would be implemented would be 2023.
We have received a letter stating that now 3 items will change , the tshirt , outerwear and the gingham dresses and as well as the date being brought forward by one year .
This is not enough time for some families who have neither the funds nor the capacity to change their child’s entire uniform .
Many parents no longer buy new uniform each September and replace items only when required due to damage or a growth spurt .
By changing 3 items you are pushing Families into hardship . Supermarkets sell a 2 pack for less than half the price of the price suggested by purchasing uniform through school and due to new legislation school cannot request for all items to bear a logo and in the current climate this should be optional and kept to a minimum number of items ideally one item .

We wish for the original date of 2023 to be honoured and parents consulted again over the number of items that will change .
