Buying school uniform can be complex at the best of times, however, please try and undertake the following to make it easier:
1) Try to book appointments early in the summer holidays with Smarty Schoolwear, to purchase uniform ready for the start of the school year in September. They have introduced Klarna pay to spread payments (reducing the expenditure burden) and also have increased the exchange and refund periods to assist. They believe in coming once, getting you correctly fitted out and taking the garments home on the day, as this minimises the number of times you will need to come to the store and come in contact with people. Check online or call the store to book an appointment.
2) Existing parents/carers should check their child’s uniform requirements for the new term as early possible. Try to avoid leaving it to late August.
