The Summer School Uniform Checklist

While you might have thought you had enough school uniform to see your child through till the end of the year, it’s often said that kids have their growth spurt during the summer term. And, with the sun finally making an appearance, it’s the perfect time to replace their woolly jumpers and tights for school skirts, polo shirts and lightweight trousers.

But if you’re worried that refreshing their school uniform is going to cost a fortune, think again. Our summer school uniform checklist is full of affordable and comfortable options, including supportive school shoes and accessories, to ensure your child looks smart from head to toe.

Top It Off

When the sun starts to shine, the first item to get left at home is your child’s school jumper. While this means one less thing to worry about washing at the end of the week, it also means that their school polo shirts have to be in tip-top shape.

Luckily, our polo shirt range features stain release technology to keep your kids clean and presentable from Monday to Friday. No more worrying about mud stains, food spills and art classes – result!

From pleated skirts and gingham designs to school trousers in grey and black, we have plenty of options to make school uniform shopping as simple as possible.

Even so, summer uniform rules vary from school to school, so it’s worth checking out what your child can and cannot wear before you update their weekday wardrobe.

Seasonal School
Skirts & Trousers

We know that school uniform shopping isn’t always a stress-free experience – especially if your child would rather wear their fancy dress costume to class. Thankfully, our seasonal school skirts and trousers come in a variety of different styles and colours, so you’re sure to find something you’ll both love.

Step To It
School Shoes

With wet play a thing of the past (for now anyway!), sourcing comfortable and supportive school shoes for your child is a must. After all, how else will they keep up with all the playground games?

Durable and flexible, trainers are our top pick when it comes to finding a shoe to withstand all that running and jumping. Whether you and your child opt for lace-up designs or easy-use straps, you can’t beat a trainer for comfort on the go.

Plus, with school sports day just around the corner, now’s the ideal time to give your child’s PE kit an update. From shorts and skorts to vests and leggings, our great-value selection is just the thing to help your little one embrace their inner sporting superstar.

The Little Extras

When it comes to refreshing your child’s school uniform for the warmer months, it’s easy to forget about the little extras. But, with the days of woollen tights soon to be a distant memory, it’s worth stocking up on a selection of knee-high and ankle socks to pair with school skirts and gingham dresses.
