School uniform logos could be scrapped in bid to make clothes more affordable
Parents, carers, pupils, governors, teachers and uniform suppliers are being asked to respond to the consultation.
Logos on school uniforms could be scrapped as part of a review being launched in Wales.
Education minister Jeremy Miles has announced a consultation on proposals to make school uniforms more affordable.
Options to be considered include the use of school branding and whether schools should have no logo at all or use iron on logos available free of charge.
This could give families the option to purchase uniform at cheaper costs from a retailer of their choice.
Parents, carers, pupils, governors, teachers and uniform suppliers are being asked to respond to the consultation.
“The Welsh Government is doing everything we can to support families through this cost-of-living crisis,” Mr Miles said.
“I know that a lot of schools work hard to keep the cost of their uniforms to a minimum.
“We are launching this consultation so that we can take further action in order to support families.”
Nearly 100,000 pupils are eligible for the pupil development grant access grant, which helps with the cost of uniforms and school items, in Wales.
The consultation will run until the end of November.
