A free school uniform hub in Haywards Heath

Sarah Gorrell

Available for over a year

Parents are paying an average of £422 per year to kit out their child for secondary school. And primary school uniform is around £287 per child, per year. Despite new rules brought in by the Government last year to make schoolwear affordable. The Children's Society tells us about the impact of rising uniform cost on children's education and we hear about a free uniform shop at the Bentswood Hub in Haywards Heath.
