    If you're ordering online, Quidco have a free delivery code for the schoolwear dept.

    Only need polo shirts this year - have heard good thigs abuot M&S's, so will take a look.

    :)


    Edit - the code is on the M&S site too, but I think I'll give it a miss after reading the reviews.

    I have bought trousers from M&S for the past two years and they have been really good.

    This year I also bought the jumpers & polo shirts and I thought they were awful quality. I ended up returning them all in store (12 x jumpers & 12 x polo shirts). Each one had to be unwrapped and separately scanned against the invoice. It took ages... when I got there I had one person behind me and by the time I left there were nine, even after opening an extra till!

    m&s uniforms are by the best and worth every penny, even the plimsols which are about the same as the supermarkets last all year!

    Maybe they are if you have a 'normal' colour but if you have brown & yellow the choice just isn't there. The jumper in brown and the polo shirt in yellow were awful
  • Usually buy M&S trousers for my little boy and they've been really good. Don't know about polo shirts and sweatshirts as I only buy the school's with the logo on.

    Nightmare with M&S uniform this year. Need 3 age 14 dresses, never in stock, ended up ringing a store in Yeovil (I live in Kent) and they are posting them to me as the website never has any stock. Cheers M&S first time you've ever let me down.
