How much to order

Your laundry cycle largely determines the volume of items you require but it’s worth noting that your child’s requirements are going to change throughout the year. For example, in the winter months a sweater is likely to be worn daily whereas it isn’t in the warmer months.

Summer
Many schools allow shorts and summer dresses to be worn after Easter and at the start of the new September term. A warm top may also be required if P.E moves outdoors.

Winter
As we approach autumn and move into winter, warm outdoor clothes are a necessity – hats, gloves, scarves and coats. Some schools have logoed versions of these items. Sweatshirts/Cardigans or Blazers will also be getting worn more often. A tracksuit may be required if P.E is remains outside.

Spring
Spring term could mean your child needs a lightweight coat or shower-proof jacket.

Do you need to provide a painting apron? Will you need a water bottle? Most schools only allow water as a drink, in a clear bottle with your child’s name.
