In 2023, the average cost for a secondary school uniform, including PE kits, was £442 per child. Utilising platforms like Shus can significantly reduce these expenses by offering affordable, second-hand options.

The UK discards approximately 300,000 tonnes of clothing each year. By reusing school uniforms through Shus, families contribute to reducing textile waste and promoting environmental sustainability.

British parents collectively spend around £1.2 billion each year on school clothing and equipment. Shus offers a cost-effective alternative, allowing families to buy and sell uniforms at reduced prices.

A poll by Sainsbury’s revealed that a child will wear an average of 480 items of uniform clothing over the course of their school days and that parents will spend about £6,000 in total on school uniform.
