It’s back to school season and parents and children across Birmingham will be preparing for next week when schools reopen after the summer holidays.
It means getting uniforms, stationery and other necessities ready as the new academic year begins. With the cost of living crisis, many families might struggle to get new uniforms for their children and there are several options like Facebook forums where uniform swaps take place, and some free uniform grants might be available as well.
School uniforms should be available in high street shops and other retail outlets, rather than from just one supplier, according to Birmingham City Council website. And, if you have questions, you can approach the schools, who can offer advice.
