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.

The free uniform was first implemented in 2019 but has become more important than ever as families struggle to make ends meet.
And with a free breakfast club for all pupils, it's just one of the initiatives the school is doing to help parents navigate the cost of living crisis.
Headteacher Rachel Evans said: “We’ve been providing free uniforms for all Year 7 pupils every September since 2019 so that every child gets a blazer, school jumper, tie and PE kit.
“We’ve always understood that it’s challenging for anyone to have to buy a full high school uniform every year – and now more so than ever. This is something we can do to support our families. We’ve also reduced the number of logoed items in our uniform to positively impact on finances, so that many items can be bought from most shops.”
A survey carried out by the Schoolwear Association this year found that the average cost of compulsory secondary school uniform and sportswear items was just over £100.
The Year 7 pupils arrived for their first day this week, having collected new uniforms from the Heys Road school in August.

I kept reading the news, and it kept getting worse.” “The movies, television, books [about climate change] are all negative,” he continued. “And I find all that doomsday stuff to be depressing beyond belief.”
