In August 2019 Rebecca Wearn and the data unit’s Rob England reported on the cost of school uniforms.
The BBC compared school clothing on the websites of four large UK supermarkets and found the average prices were about £58 less for a primary school uniform and £118 less for a secondary school uniform than in the government’s survey of parents.
The story also involved scraping a sample of 100 Facebook groups set up in Britain containing the words “school uniform” and “swap” or “free”, and looked at how much some councils spent on school uniform grants.
