School uniforms too expensive, according to web survey

Almost 90% of mothers believe the cost of a school uniform is too expensive, while more than half fear their child could be bullied.

A survey carried out by MummyPages.ie also found that just a third of mothers questioned said they had the option of buying a generic school uniform, meaning two thirds faced the additional cost of buying a specific outfit for their child.

In total, almost two thirds of mothers who took part in the survey said they found back-to-school costs to be expensive.
