Updated Guidance from Department for Education on PE Kit

When developing their school’s PE kit, governing bodies should apply the same consideration to cost as they would for the everyday items in their uniforms.

Schools should avoid being overly specific in their kit requirements for different sports and keep the number of items, particularly the number of branded items, to a minimum.

No pupil should feel unable to participate fully in PE or represent their class or school because the PE kit is too expensive.
