Keeping school uniform affordable
A smart school uniform is an important part of the ethos of the school. We are also keen to ensure that our school uniform is affordable to parents and regularly review the costs to keep them competitive.
Recently there has been a great deal of media discussion of the costs of school uniform in schools and we were pleased that the uniform at Poynton continues to be considerably less expensive than the average cost nationally. We thought that this information would be of interest to parents.

How is the cost of uniform kept lower?
All students have the option of non-branded trousers, allowing cheaper alternatives to be sought
The costings above allow for a £30- £40 pair of trainers and £30 - £40 football boots both of which are not stored at school so can be used at home
Coats are not a required part of uniform and can be plain black, allowing these to be suitable for school and weekend wear
Uniform is the same in summer and winter meaning only one set of clothes is needed
Very few items are required that are branded meaning cheaper alternatives can be found
Uniform is available to buy in school so there are no delivery costs
Lost property is sorted and returned to students when labelled with their name
Lost property not re-united is available for parents in exchange for a donation to school fund
