If finances are tight and the prospect of kitting out the kids in a new school uniform is a bigger burden this year, nip to Tesco this month where parents can get their hands on a full set for just £3.60.

The supermarket giant launched its new 'value' range yesterday, making it the cheapest school uniform on the high street.

The uniform set of a polo shirt, sweatshirt and skirt or trousers comes in sizes for ages three to 16. It will normally be priced at £4.50, but there is an extra 20% off the collection running throughout June and is available in store and on-line.

Sainsbury's is the closest rival with sets starting at £6 while Asda's range from £8 and Marks & Spencer from £11.

Lowest price

Jan Marchant, Tesco clothing buying director said: "Parents like different price options for Back to School and our Value range offers them a fantastic quality product.

"We are pleased to offer our customers a whole school uniform at the lowest possible price, and certainly the most competitive price on the high street."

The move could help boost profits for the supermarket giant which recently missed first quarter sales forecasts.

Compromise on quality?

While the range is undoubtedly a great option for cash-strapped parents, you can't but question the quality of such low price clothing.

Will it last the term or start looking like rags after a couple of washes, need replacing and cancelling out any savings you make? It could be one of those cost-per-wear decisions, but at £3.60 you can't really lose out by giving it a go.
