School uniforms are important and won't be scrapped, Education Minister Jeremy Miles said as he announced a consultation on logos and cost.
But he admitted uniforms are still too expensive in some schools. He questioned the need for logos on school sports wear, said schools could look at cost effective uniform suppliers, offer free iron on logos and help with uniform recycling.
Asked whether school uniform should be scrapped altogether he said: "I believe school uniform very much still has a place in schools. I think they are important in terms of school ethos and sense of cohesion and play an important role in reducing inequalities."
