s a school we are always looking at ways to improve facilities available to our children and parents and with this in mind we have decided to try a new provider for school uniform – ‘Your School Uniform.’ This will enable you to buy our existing uniform as well as some new items, such as fleeces, waterproof jackets, caps and P.E. bags.
Your School Uniform is providing an online system for parents, which can be accessed via the website www.schoolwearforless.com’. Parents will then be able to:
1. Order uniform online by debit/credit card.
2. Raise order online, print off and then send cheque directly to company.
3. Collect order form from school. Complete and send off with cheque.
4. Complete order form at school, pay cash and school can place the order. (This facility is available on Friday mornings only and is for parents without internet access or a cheque book).
Option 1 – 3, items will be delivered to the address of your choice. Option 4 – items will be delivered to school and sent home with your child.
What are the advantages?
Uniform can be ordered when school is closed (school holidays etc).
No waiting for school to place an order.
Full catalogue available for you to browse and order other items of uniform if you wish.
The company offer a ‘no quibble’ replacement guarantee. There will be a full refund on plain items and a credit for embroidered items. To ensure that correct sizes are ordered, we will hold a ‘try on pack’, which will be available on Friday mornings at the school office.
I hope you will see the benefits of the new system and provider.
It is expected that children will wear uniform in order to encourage a sense of community and to enable children to feel equal in terms of appearance. Green sweat shirts, sweat cardigans, white polo shirts and P.E. T-shirts all with the school logo can be obtained through the school or online.
