Everything seems to be getting more expensive at the moment and parents will know how much of a burden the cost of school uniforms can be. While the summer term hasn't even ended yet, no doubt some are already thinking about how they will deal with the cost ahead of the new school year in September.
The good news is that some councils in the UK provide help with the cost, up to as much as £150 in England. In Wales a Pupil Development Grant is available at £125 for primary school age children and £200 for those entering secondary school.
However, in England it's not compulsory, meaning that not all local authorities offer the support. The criteria for those that are eligible also varies depending on where you are.
