Cut School Uniform Costs

For all parents across the UK, the cost of school uniform can be a significant financial burden. From branded blazers to specific footwear, these expenses quickly add up. In this week’s blog post, we are exploring how pirkx membership can help parents save money while still ensuring that their children set for school.

Over the years, the cost of school uniform in the UK has steadily increased, leaving parents grappling with financial strain. According to the Children's Society, parents spend on average £422 a year on secondary and £287 on primary uniforms, with branded items costing even more (BBC News, 2021). Uniform essentials such as blazers, ties, trousers, skirts, and shoes can easily rack up costs and for families with multiple school-age children, these costs can quickly become unmanageable.

With a pirkx membership, parents can access exclusive discounts on school uniform essentials from various retailers, including Clarks, ASDA, M&S, Primark and New Look. By working with major suppliers, pirkx offers discounted prices and cashback on various school clothing essentials, making it easier for parents to afford quality items for their children.

Aside from providing substantial savings on school uniforms, a pirkx membership offers over 2,500+ additional shopping discounts and cashback offers. Members can enjoy discounts on a wide range of products and services, including groceries, leisure activities, technology and more. Therefore, with a pirkx membership, parents can save money not only on school uniforms but also on everyday expenses, allowing them to better manage their finances and prioritise their children's education.

The cost of school uniform in the UK can place a heavy burden on parents' wallets. However, by becoming pirkx members, parents can benefit from significant discounts on school uniforms, making them more affordable without sacrificing quality. pirkx offers support for UK parents looking to save money while ensuring their children are ready for their next year of school.
