Aldi has announced its school uniform sale will begin on June 28, with prices starting from as low as £1.50. The budget supermarket is bringing back its popular £5 uniform bundle, which includes multiple essential items for children aged four to 12 years.
Bundle Details
The £5 bundle offers a choice of two girls' polo shirts with ruffle collar detail or classic boys' polo shirts in white or blue, each priced at £1.75. Also included are a navy or red sweatshirt (£1.50), a smart cardigan (£1.50) in red, and durable trousers (£1.75) for girls and boys, a pleated skirt (£1.75), or versatile cargo shorts (£1.75) in grey. The bundle comes with a 12-month satisfaction guarantee, ensuring the uniform is made to last.
Additional Items
Footwear is available from £7.99, featuring memory foam insoles for comfort. A five-pack of ankle or knee-high socks costs £2.49. New this year, parents can purchase back to school hair accessories for £1.99, including headbands, clips, bows, ties, and scrunchies in school-appropriate shades.
Other items include football boots (£9.99), premium backpacks (£9.99), children's leather shoes (£7.99), trainers (£6.99), pinafore 2-packs (£6.99), joggers 2-packs (£6.99), lunchbags from £4.99, and various stationery and accessories. A full list of offers is available on Aldi's website, but items cannot be ordered online and must be purchased in-store.
Context
The average school uniform costs families around £340 per year for primary school and £454 for secondary school. From September, new legislation will require schools to cap branded uniform items to three (excluding ties), potentially saving parents up to £50 per child. Aldi's budget-friendly options aim to provide financial relief for families.
