School uniform logos could be scrapped in Wales to help with cost of living crisis

Ditching school uniform logos for maintained schools in Wales is once again being proposed by the Welsh Government to ease financial pressure on parents. School governors, who set uniform policy rules for their schools will be asked for their views.

Former Education Minister Kirsty Williams first suggested the idea and now a public consultation will be held. It will consider whether school uniforms should have no logos or swap to free iron on logos.

Current Welsh Government guidance advises that schools should limit logos to one item of clothing. Many schools allow children to buy cheaper uniform in supermarkets, but some have pricier specialist suppliers for items children must wear.
