School uniform
Two brands that I can recommend are Marks & Spencer for uniform and Adidas for PE/Sports wear - we have found them both to be hard-wearing and they last all year!
M&S have a whole range of school uniform trousers but this is the style that has seen my son through secondary school. Regular fit but with a slim cut leg. They have an adjustable waist and best of all they are designed to be let down easily at t...
M&S Boys’ Slim Leg School Trousers (2-18 Yrs)
Classic short sleeve school shirt from M&S. They have a whole range of different shirts but I have always preferred these for being 100% cotton. Admittedly not as easy in terms of creasing - but I was always assured that ironed shirts are not coo...
M&S 2pk Boys' Regular Fit Skin Kind™ Short Sleeve School Shirts (2-18 Yrs)

2pk Boys' Regular Fit Skin Kind™ School Shirts (2-18 Yrs)
Classic school uniform skirt - drop waist with pleats
2pk Girls' Crease Resistant School Skirts (2-16 Yrs)

P.E./ Sports kit
Lightweight, comfortable trainers for PE. We always get the black with white tick.
Nike Tanjun Men's Shoes
These classic joggers have seen us through Primary and Secondary school for PE and sports. Hard-wearing enough to cope with 3 football trainings a week!! I've found they come up a little big so buy their actual age size whereas most clothes I buy 2 y...

Ideal summer shorts for sports or general wear. Pockets are important my children tell me!!
Essentials 3-Stripes Shorts
Ideal summer shorts for sports or general wear. The longer length and pockets make them a good choice my kids inform me!
