Back to school: Here's where to buy cheap school uniforms including Asda, Matalan, Aldi and M&S

And you don't have to spend a fortune as several retailers offering everything from polo shirts, jumpers, trousers and skirts from as little as £2.

If you are struggling to buy brand new uniforms, there are also other options.

There are charity shops and school swaps. Some schools hand out second-hand items that have been handed in by other parents – and many of them are as good as new!

There are also local Facebook groups that may be able to help.

But if you are heading out to see what supermarkets and shops have on offer, this may offer a little bit of help.
