Kitting youngsters out for school can be a costly affair, but one secondary is going above and beyond to support families. Every pupil starting in Year 7 at The Heys School in Prestwich, Bury, has been given a complete uniform free of charge.
Regardless of family income, 120 kids have been supplied with a blazer, school jumper, tie and PE kit.
And with a reduction in the requirement for logoed items - often the most expensive part for parents - the cost of a full Heys uniform has been lowered to around £86 for those in Years 8 to 11.
