Recommendation where to buy school uniform

[chocohead]

My DD starts reception next week and i am struggling to get royal blue shorts and t-shirt for P.E. They do have a shop in town where they sell these with logo on but the shop is useless!!!! none in here size and they don't know when they will get them. They also don't have book bags and won't have any until at least end of May

To be honest i do not want to spend any of my money in the shop as they are so unhelpful.

Is there anywhere good online to buy plain clothes

Just a thought - does the school stock these items themselves?

[chocohead]

no they don't which i think would make it alot easier for everyone. its only the shop in town but then have to pay parking etc..

Does she need the PE kit on the first day?? Can you not wait to get to school - there are often 2nd hand uniform sales and parents at the gate can tell you their ideas for getting the uniform cheaply ...

Also, try the plain ranges here

Don't know about the shorts and bookbag. Our school is the only stockist of our school uniform.

Sainsburys, Asda and M&S are good for uniform

Surely though she can do PE in her own clothes for one week?

I got royal blue pe shorts in john lewis delievered to store and they were cheap.
everything else apart from logoed stuff was from tesco/ sainsburys/ebay.

I can get most of my DCs uniform herewear for less. Also Next and M&S good for most things.

I have used this seller. I've been pleased with the quality, plus they offer fair trade and 100% cotton options which I like.
