Grants for Uniforms

[emerald-babe31]

Why the hell cant the government give grants to single mums or dads to buy uniforms for Primary school children its bloody stupid tht they give to secondary school ones even tho they dont get much.. dont these ppl know how much they cost these days? obviously not the TWATS!!!

I didnt buy all new ones for Jess and Emma this year but however Jess now needs a new one cos her sweater is to tight I thought she mite have gotten away with it another year but I was wrong

SO COME ON GOVERNMENT GIVE TO PRIMARY SCHOOL KIDS AS WELL U MEANIES !!!

Do you not have a swap shop at your school? We have a swap shop where we can buy school uniforms for 50p

hi there down here in bournemouth dorset the schools now issues a clothing grant of £20 per child it use to be more than that and it use to be done through the council directly now its down to the school as they have been funded by the coucil but apparantly the school have the right not issue school clothing grants but the school my girls attend decided too issue them but have lowerd the amount but its better than nothing also there school does have a rail of secondhand school clothing items too. have you asked the school themselfs about claiming a school grant ?
many thanks natasha

hi there natasha


I wld be lucky with the school my kids go to they are miserable lot and keep money tight to them selves lol

ask for a grant I wld be laughed at.. thts a good idea tho of havin a clothes rack with the uniforms on them so other ppl can have a look and purchase them if they so wish...

my oldest daughters friends mum sent me up a load of clothes the other day and there was some uniforms in there tht will do both my girls for another while ..
