Cheap School Uniform Discussion

Savvy_Sue

I don't know why, but chewing the cuffs of their school sweatshirts seems to be quite a common occupation. I mean, I know school lunches aren't always to their taste, but that's desperate!

And while you've all got the tissues out, pass them over to me because I no longer have a schoolboy in the house. How did they all get so grown up?

Ask someone who has a child already at the school if they have a school handbook, and ask to have a look at it, it should tell you in there what's expected uniform wise.

I'm surprised the school didn't get in touch to keep you informed - most schools are a big fan of sending instructions out.:D

M&S Uniform is only £8.50 true spend not the £9.50 as the link above states.

Most of the supermarkets do cheap school uniform in black/grey/navy, but my daughter's school has brown/yellow clothing. M&S only do one brown skirt in their school range catalogue, that has a butterfly motif on so would be banned anyway... Does anyone know of a supermarket or shop that does brown?
thanks

BHS have brown uniforms in some of their stores and also available on line

WOW loads of info, will defo try and get in touch with the school. Still trying to get a hold of the school, DD Starts on the 2nd of sept but the school are hoping to get her in full time (nooooooooooooooooo:-( ) as soon as possible. We have got polo shirts for when she starts just the Trousers, shoes, tie and jumper. I was thinking of getting a fleece as DD has problems with hot and cold.

Still not sure about the pencil case issue tho. Will speak to the school to find out.

Also i will make sure that DD's name is on every peice of clothing at least 2 times

Hi everyone

My DD starting school in a few weeks and I really want her to have hairbands/bobbles etc to match her uniform but I can't find stuff anywhere.

I'm looking for a green gingham hair band or a bow hairband and matching hair clips and bobbles.Been around the shops and on eBay etc but no luck.Any ideas?

Many thanks

I've found gingham scrunchies/hairbands in Claire's. Failing that, what about buying some gingham material and plain headbands and making your own?

School Unifrom Shops?. My local shop Broadbank & Empson (School outfitters)have them all in the window.
If you where to call one of the stores i'm sure if you could probably purchase over the phone & they would send them to you.

Is your DD short? I was short so mum always had to take my dresses up-the hems always got turned into scrunchies and alice bands.

I remember having these at primary school as my uniform was also green gingham and my Mum used to buy them from BHS and Marks & Spencer's - admittedly I'm 23 now so they may have changed their stock in 15 years!
