Several schools across North Tyneside are supporting vulnerable families through the cost of living crisis with school uniform provisions. Whitley Bay High School, Hadrian Park Primary, Benton Dene School, and Burradon Community Primary School, have announced ways families can access cheaper or paid-for school uniforms.
Whitey Bay High School has an account open with its uniform provider to pre-pay for uniforms for some children. Other items such as PE kits are set to be handed out “discreetly” when required.
For colder months, the school has an arrangement with Newcastle United for donations of winter coats which are then distributed to students in need.
