East Renfrewshire’s education boss has defended a Barrhead school’s new uniform policy after concerns were raised over the cost of tartan skirts.
Cllr Caroline Bamforth, SNP, said it wasn’t “appropriate” during a cost of living crisis.
“This is the worst time ever to be changing a uniform and setting these expectations to change uniforms.” Mr Ratter added measures to help families have included a “transition year”, a “successful” school bank last summer to allow parents to swap uniforms and financial support.“It’s essentially the same price as you can buy the black skirt,” Mr Ratter said.
