If pupils have previously been required to purchase specific clothing for school-facilitated events, this will need to be reviewed. A school's football, rugby or hockey team, for example, all fall within the requirements. Schools can still offer branded items for purchase, loan them or provide them to pupils - but those items cannot be a requirement for participation beyond the three or four branded items permitted in total.\nWhat schools need to consider\nThe Act's uniform provisions require schools to make clear choices about which items they want to be branded. Whilst the Act does not expressly address the price of branded items, the restrictions aim to go some way to reducing costs for parents.\nThe uniform guidance required schools to publish their new uniform requirements before the new school year, so that parents knew what to expect and could prepare. Given that the purpose of this part of the Act is to reduce uniform costs for parents, there may be instances where existing and new pupils wear different uniforms for a period. The key point is that the three or four-item branded limit means further branded items cannot be compulsory - but there's nothing to stop them being offered as optional.", "attrs": { "row": 2, "col": 0, "rowspan": 1, "colspan": 2, "bbox_refit": true, "merged_continuation": true, "column_header": true, "header_source": "pdf" } }, { "id": "p7.1.4", "order": 5, "type": "table_cell", "bbox": { "l": 118.52268, "t": 297.12582, "r": 561.096471, "b": 274.1554 }, "text": "Please can you let me know if your school is going to find this new requirement challenging so that we are aware if we are contacted by parents.", "attrs": { "row": 3, "col": 0, "rowspan": 1, "colspan": 2, "bbox_refit": true, "column_header": true, "header_source": "pdf" } }, { "id": "p7.1.5", "order": 6, "type": "table_cell", "bbox": { "l": 118.5, "t": 259.18934, "r": 562.344071, "b": 160.34889999999996 }, "text": "7.
