Kids Love No Uniform Days
And It Makes A Great Fundraiser

No Uniform Day also known as Mufti Day is one of the most common and popular school fundraisers.

Pupils pay either a set fee or make a donation to leave blazers, ties and sweatshirts at home. Wearing your own clothes to school is a dream for many kids and No Uniform Days are always much anticipated highlights of the school year.

It is up to the school to set its own limits and guidelines as to what is appropriate as an alternative. Older girls in particular may try to push the envelope a little bit further than what might be acceptable!

Similarly no-one wants to see best clothes get spoiled at school. Expensive items and top branded training shoes can also cause a few problems.

On the other hand the whole point for the children is to dress up a bit. Everyone likes to "put on the style" once in a while. Kids are no different.

A variation on this idea adopted by some schools is
Dress Up As..... Days. Pupils put together fancy dress that matches the theme.Here are some examples of common themes:

You can see that the possibilities for good themes are endless. It is also easy for schools to incorporate dressing up into topics that fit with their curiculum. In fact dressing up can be a great way to engage pupils.

Schools may like to have a few fancy dress items to hand for any pupils who forget or are unable to make there own costumes. That way no-one need feel left out.

Competitions and prizes for the best fancy dress can also help to make "Dress Up As... Day" extra special. It may also attract the interest of local press.

School teaching staff and helpers may also like to join in.There is something so very cool about the school minibus being driven by Batman! Or the dinner ladies all wearing blonde wigs to look like Madonna!

No Uniform Day is a very easy win as a school fundraiser. It is popular. Costs nothing to put on. And most importantly of all brings in the cash!
