The Aldi school uniform is back - and it's less than a fiver

The Aldi school uniform is back and it's even cheaper than last year.

Families can get their hands on two polo shirts, a sweatshirt and a pleated skirt or trousers for the bargain price of £4.50.

Aldi's uniform package covers all primary school ages, from three to 11, and as with all Aldi Specialbuys, once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Families can order online now and stock will be on sale in stores from Thursday, July 11.

The skirts, pinafores and trousers come in a range of colours too - navy, black, or grey.

And there are lots of other back to school products included in the range too, from jogging bottoms (£2.99 a pair) and trainers (£5.99), to school shoes, lunch boxes, school bags and stationery.

The leather school shoes cost around £6.99 a pair and come in sizes 10 to 2.

You can get your basics too, like a five-pair pack of socks for £1.99 and a three-pack of tights for £3.99.

Last month we reported how applications for a one-off school uniform grant opened.

The School Uniform Grant gives families up to £150 off your child's expenses for the new academic year and is offered by the government to help families on low incomes manage their school costs.

As government cuts bite into council budgets, fewer places are offering the benefit, but if you do qualify, you could get a huge discount to cover PE kits and more.

To be eligible, you have to be earning less than £16,190 a year and be in receipt of one of the listed benefit schemes.

To apply, you'll have to enter your postcode into the Gov.uk page for school uniform support .
