OFT begins study into school uniforms
The OFT has started a fact-finding study into the school uniforms market, which is estimated to be worth around £450m per year.
Almost all state school pupils in the UK are required to wear a uniform of some description, with around half of all UK schools enforcing a strictly specified uniform. Uniform codes are generally the responsibility of a school's board of governors. State schools are currently free to:
1. appoint a manufacturer to produce school wear which the schools sell direct to parents
2. appoint retailers to source and sell school wear, or
3. inform parents of the general requirements of a uniform which they may purchase anywhere.
The OFT has received complaints from parents regarding high prices and poor quality at school nominated outlets, as well as from retailers claiming that the market is foreclosed to them. The OFT is interested in the interaction of government and markets within this area
