The fashion retailers' kids' uniform goes from age 2-3 up to age 14-15 years, which is a new age range for this year.
Among its key items are:
The prices vary based on the size your child wears.
So for example, if your child wears a polo shirt aged two-three it would cost £6, but if they wore aged 13-14 it would cost £8.
The discount store is also selling a range of school accessorises for a bargain price.
Up for grabs is a girls gym bag for £6 and a "Pretty Pink" lunchbox for £10.
They are also selling pairs of black canvas shoes for £9, which go up to a UK size five.
The items are available to buy in store and its online website.
However, if you are keen to order them online you will have to factor in the added costs for delivery.
You can find your nearest Peacocks store by visiting the retailers website.
It's not just Peacocks which is offering savings on parents' back to school shop.
Marks and Spencer has brought back its early bird saving deal, which offers 20% uniforms in July.
The British retailer has held prices on its school uniform items since 2021.
The Range includes everything from a two pack of school trousers starting from £8.80 and a three pack of school shirts with prices starting at £7.20.
M&S also offers a 100-day return on school uniforms, if you are not satisfied with the quality of such items with your proof of purchase you can exchange or refund.
The food and clothing retailers 20% off deal does not include footwear, hosiery, underwear, outerwear, accessories, school bags and lunch boxes.
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn't mean it's always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that'll check prices for you - so don't be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
Aldi and Lidl have also brought back their £5 school uniform deals.
The is available in multiple colourways in sizes ranging from four to 12 years old.
Both retailers have run the saver deal for a number of years, to help alleviate cost of living pressures from families.
Aldi’s Back to School range has been available in stores from July 4, and as with all Specialbuys once they’re gone, they’re gone.
And Lidl's middle aisle deals sell out quickly too, so you need to be quick.
Tesco also brought back its 25% off uniform deal again this year.
It doesn’t tend to run for a long time, so it might be a good idea to stock up while you can.
You need to ensure you have your Tesco Clubcard or app when you get to the till so the discount is applied.
If you are struggling to afford the cost of school uniform or PE kit, you may be able to apply for a grant from your local council - but the criteria vary from council to council.
This is usually in the form of a one-off payment paid directly into your bank account. Some councils will reimburse payments made to approved retailers.
You can ask your local council what help is available and when you need to apply.
If you can't get targeted help from your council, there are other options to get cheap uniform.
Speak to your school to see if they can offer you some clothing.
Some charities offer help to families in need too. Charity Turn2Us has a free grants search tool on its website which you can use to find out what help is available to you.
Charity shops can also be a good place to find cheap school uniform.
