BrightHouse has surveyed more than 3000 parents of primary, secondary and college age students to discover how much they typically spend on preparing their children for a new school year and have created the Cost of Going Back to School interactive animation.This is a very interesting animated chart that I would like to share with you. So far I have spent over £100 just to buy new school uniforms and shoes for my children. Unfortunately I could not pass on Mr K's old uniform to Ms C when she started reception early this year. So I had to buy new sets of dresses for her. In fact, I am part of the astonishing 43% of parents who spent more than £50 on each child.
