Aldi and Lidl launch full school uniform for kids for just £5 – and it’s available to buy now

Lidl and Aldi have launched a back-to-school deal for parents, offering a complete uniform for just £5. Popular supermarkets have launched their incredibly affordable uniforms, promising to outfit four- to 12-year-olds for less than £10.

Aldi has chosen to maintain its Specialbuy uniform price for the third year in a row. Parents will be delighted to find that they can buy a hoodie for £1.50, two polo shirts for £1.75, a pleated skirt for girls for £1.75, trousers for boys for £1.75 and cargo shorts for boys at £1.75.

Every Thursday and Sunday, the middle aisle of the store is full of deals, and regular customers know that once the products are sold out, they are gone for good. The range is available from July 4 as part of a Specialbuys promotion, so bargain hunters will need to act fast.

This year, Aldi are offering a variety of colors and sizes, ensuring families can find something to suit any uniform requirement. The store’s back-to-school specialbuys also include some new items this year, such as several styles of leather school shoes for just £6.99, tights for £3.99, a pack of five socks for £2.49, knit socks for £7.49 and jogging bottoms for £6.99.

All school activities are covered, with football boots available for £9.99, workbooks for £99 and Lily and Dan backpacks for £11.99 in pink, blue or grey, along with matching lunch bags for £5.99.

The average cost of compulsory secondary school uniforms and sportswear for a child starting secondary school in England in 2023 was £96.24 per pupil, according to the Schoolwear Association.

Julie Ashfield, Managing Director of Buying at Aldi UK, said: “With the cost of uniforms an annual and often expensive expense for families with growing children, at Aldi we believe every child should have access to affordable school uniforms, comfortable and high quality. And we want school children to be able to have flexibility when it comes to what they wear to class all day, so we’re proud to be expanding the options in our pack.”

“As customers continue to look for great value products that do not compromise on quality, we have taken the decision to freeze our school uniform bundle at £5 for the third year running, ensuring our customers receive the best savings possible. This year, we’ve also worked to increase our satisfaction guarantee from six months to one year, so parents can be sure their child’s uniform will stand the test of an entire school year.”
