So more information regards uniform. I understand the uniform bill has been modified in England but over in Northern Ireland it hasn’t and it’s very disappointing. A woman I know whose daughter has just moved from primary school to Grammar just paid out £389 yesterday excluding shoes, trainers, a bag, stationary, art essentials, maths essentials, a hockey stick and a tennis racket. This is with 20% off. This sale is only on until the end of July and I myself can’t avail of that as I can’t afford to get my daughters uniform this month. It’s ridiculous and the costs are so astronomical here that it puts parents under so much pressure causing a lot of anxiety and stress each and every year.
