Late delivery

Late delivery but product good on arrival. Second time delivery has been later than stated.
My delivery was due the Wednesday before half term, as stated in the email. It had not been delivered on the Wednesday or by the Friday when the children finished for half term. Subsequently I received it after half term.

They don't stock enough of the sizes and it's ridiculous. My son is 12 and they have been out of almost every size item he needs for months. They even removed the XS size from the PE kit after being out of stock for months. No im left trying to find all second hand kit. It is their business to have sufficient stock so that kids can get their uniform when needed and they just don't.

We appreciate you bringing the stock issues to our attention. We are sorry that you have been unable to find the sizes needed for your son's uniform. We are looking into the availability of sizes and the PE kit XS issue to improve our stock levels.

Expensive shipping fee

Uniform items were a bit pricey,
Bought a necktie for 10pounds then had to pay shipping of 5pounds .

Maybe to some ,this was still OK.. but for me..it's on the expensive side

We're sorry to learn that you are not pleased with the shipping costs associated with your order. We have worked hard to keep our costs down for delivery, since the school took the decision to close the onsite shop.

We have a free delivery option available during term time. If the order is placed before midnight on a Sunday the order, subject to the items being in stock, will be ready for collection from school reception on the Wednesday of the same week.

If at any point in the future you do require assistance with your order, please get in direct contact with our Customer Service Team by email or phone.
