I live in Southwark, in an extremely poor part of inner London. It is notable that uniforms have been introduced recently in large numbers of schools and the children all look much smarter, and surely that cannot be a bad thing for them.
One girl's school (a Harris Academy I think) has an amazing navy blazer with shocking pink lining, the shocking pink theme is continued throughout the uniform and the girls look ready to do a good day's work. They wear their uniform with such pride and so smartly that it shows that it is worth it.
In fact, a quick google brings it up. You really wouldn't believe that their parents aren't paying £3,000 a term for their schooling.
