Many thanks to all who responded to the recent consultation on offering a sustainable uniform alternative. We had 99 responses of which:
55% said they would be interested in buying more sustainable, ethically sourced uniform
10% would not
34% were ‘maybes’
We asked if people would be happy to buy without Parkdale logos, particularly if that kept the cost down:
52% said they would be be OK with losing the logos
21% had no preference
27% opposed the idea of uniform without the logo.
All views are valid, respected and understood. Thanks to all for showing interest and taking the time.
This information will help Governors when they come to review uniform policy later this year, but just to be clear there is no intention of making this compulsory. If it were to be introduced, we would just be signposting an alternative, most likely with a ‘menu’ of Parkdale uniform items to choose from. Parents would continue to be able to buy from Price and Buckland or their preferred alternative, with or without logos, just as they are now. We’ll keep everyone updated…
