Smart Ways to Save on School Uniforms

  • Set a budget – Plan ahead for uniforms, shoes, and sports gear. If your child is growing fast, consider sizing up to make items last longer.
  • Save uniform for school – Changing into home clothes after school can help uniforms last.
  • Shop smart – Supermarket uniforms often offer great value without compromising on quality.
  • Go second-hand – Check if your school sells pre-loved blazers and uniforms or ask friends if they have outgrown items to pass on.
  • Invest in quality – Durable shoes might cost more upfront but can save money in the long run.
  • Keep trainers for home – Designer school shoes aren’t necessary—save expensive trainers for weekends.
