A new uniform is a significant change, and DfE guidance (Sept 2013) states the following:
"We strongly recommend that in setting its uniform/appearance policy the governing body:
 consider the timeframe for introducing a new uniform policy or amending an existing one;
 take into account the views of parents and pupils on significant changes to school uniform policy;
 consider the cost, the available supply sources and year round availability of the proposed uniform to ensure it is providing best value for money for parents"
A full a& thorough consultation should therefore be undertaken before this change is implemented, not just a survey about preferred dates for introducing it. I believe this has caused serious damage to the relationship between management and parents, which could so easily have been avoided.
