Academy uniforms costing a whopping £55,120 have been given away to 848 children living in the Woughton area.
The uniforms were handed out free to every student who will move across from Sir Frank Markham Community School to The Milton Keynes Academy in September.
"It's been a massive logistical exercise," said Caroline Raine of the Academy. "We had a team of people measuring each child, making sure items fitted properly and that every boy and girl left properly equipped."
The average cost of the uniform was £65, with students receiving a black blazer, sleeveless jumper, tie, PE top, shorts, socks, jogging bottoms and backpack.
A group of children going to the Academy helped to choose the new uniform which is mainly black with gold and turquoise trims.
