Bear Grylls Launches Outdoor-Friendly School Uniforms for Kids
- Pam Stone argues for practical school uniforms suitable for outdoor play.
- She recalls the uniform used at her daughter's school in the late 1980s, which was both affordable and easy to wash.
- The appeal for modern, functional designs contrasts with traditional styles, suggesting a need for change.
In a recent discussion about primary school uniforms, Pam Stone expressed her strong agreement with the idea of having outdoor-play-friendly uniforms designed by Bear Grylls. The emphasis on practical uniforms comes from her experience in Lowestoft, where children wore blue polo shirts, sweatshirts, and tracksuit pants, allowing for ease of dressing and outdoor play. This approach, effective since the late 1980s, highlighted the need for unisex clothing that can withstand the demands of children’s activities. Stone notes her astonishment that girls continue to wear outdated designs like gingham summer dresses, contrasting the practical uniform introduced when her daughter attended school. The focus on affordability and ease of care in school clothing continues to resonate with the current educational climate, reinforcing the importance of adaptable clothing for children’s growth and play.
