It’s that time of year again; back to school! The school uniform list can be huge and we are all looking for the best bargains without compromising on the quality. With nearly everywhere stocking school uniform it works in our favour as all stores need to be competitive with pricing however kitting your kids out in a whole new school uniform can still be a pretty big expense so I’ve searched the internet to find out what all the supermarkets and high street stores have to offer this year.

There certainly is a huge and varied selection of uniform available, some stores have a much wider selection of colours available whereas others have a wider selection of styles. School uniform is very much down to personal choice and budget but there is definitely somewhere to suit every budget. Hopefully this will help you with finding the store most suited to your needs.
