>>A few "elite" ones do have elaborate uniforms which cost a fortune,
See my link above. An elite school? More like a recently ex-failing school. 50% of pupils get 5 A-C passes at GCSE. In 2007 that was 32%.
It's not all down to the uniform, of course not. But uniform means smartly turned out children who treat their schools with respect.
Parents who cannot afford the odd few tenners for uniform shouldn't be breeding.
