Returning to school should be an exciting time but as pupils across the country start to head back to the classroom, a new survey has shown that nine out of 10 Scottish parents were anxious about the cost of kitting their children out for the start of the new school year.
The study, which was commissioned by George at Asda, found just 11 percent of parents of children in Scotland had no concern about the cost of getting their child ready to go back to school.
It found 62 per cent were very or quite concerned, with a further 26 per cent somewhat concerned.
