The retailer is likely to kickstart a price war by launching uniforms before the current school year is even over.

Aldi UK director Julie Ashfield said: “We’ve announced the launch of our Back to School range earlier in the summer to reassure parents that they can get their little ones kitted out for the school year early, and leave them to enjoy the rest of the summer holidays which many missed last year.”

The uniforms are for primary schoolkids, with PE kits and shoes also available.
