A new law to protect parents in England from unnecessary school uniform costs comes into effect from September 2022.
State schools will be forced to remove unnecessary branded items from their uniform requirements, allowing parents to shop around or hand clothes down more easily.
However, Shoana Qureshi-Khan is one mother who has not seen the price of school clothes come down.
She has still had to fork out for a number of items of clothing bearing the school logo for her sons aged 11 and 13.
"The school blazer alone costs between £45 to £60," she said. "It's just a phenomenal amount that you just don't prepare for."
