Size Guide
Preparation for buying in-store
- Measure your child beforehand, using the measuring chart below
- Remember to bring a list of all the school's requirements with you.
- Choose machine washable, minimum-iron clothes and good quality fabrics, so that clothes last longer and are easy to launder
- Allow for growth - when you're buying shirts, make sure you can fit two fingers inside the fastened collar
- Buy 3 - 5 blouses or shirts, depending on how often you do the washing during the week
- Order embroidered name tapes well in advance, so you'll have time to sew them on before the beginning of term
- Please don't leave things till the last minute
- Good quality school clothes will give you years of wear, so buy for value, don't economise on quality
- Ask for advice. Our expert staff will be happy to talk to you about a child's individual needs
