she told the BBC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The school redesigned its uniform for 2026-27, coinciding with new government rules limiting secondary schools to three branded items, plus a branded tie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">According to the Department for Education, the new rules would save parents up to \u00a350.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Parents have told us they want fewer costly branded items \u2013 and that&#8217;s exactly what we&#8217;re delivering,&#8221; a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;School uniform matters, but it shouldn&#8217;t break the bank.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Johnson-Walker said That the school had proposed removing its branded blazers from its uniform as it was &#8220;one of our most expensive items&#8221; but had found &#8220;quite a large demand from parents to sell it with the badge on&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;We&#8217;ve managed to do a negotiation with our supplier which means that there&#8217;s no additional cost to parents to have a badged item,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">She added that the school had scrapped branded PE tops but was selling plain, black PE shirts in its uniform shop after requests from parents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;We&#8217;re also trying to maintain standards because uniform, as far as we&#8217;re concerned, is quite levelling,&#8221;
