M&S school uniform 20% off

[Dosey]

I am tempted to stock up now. Does anybody know if they are likely to do the same discount during the school holidays.

Also could folk tell me where they buy their uniforms and the quality. I buy all mine from m&s but wondered about other places for cost and quality.

thank you

I bought mine from Sainsburys when they had their sale on. DD starts reception in September so no idea if it's good quality or not yet!

trousers have always been good quality, passed dd1s down to dd2.

I've always found the stuff to be good quality. I prefer their Stainaway polo shirts to the school's logo ones; the colour difference is extremely marked after a gazillion washes.

The trousers are excellent too, they last really well. Just take care you don't fall foul to your school's uniform policy. Ours (bizarrely) clamped down at the start of the autumn term on non-logo jumpers. Surely missing the fact everyone had stocked up for the year in the school hols.

Of course, you can always buy and then keep in its packaging til later in the year.

I looked online and the offer ends 22nd July. I'm def stocking up.

[tribpot]

Ending just before the start of the hols seems perverse. I guess it might be to shift old stock before the summer deluge (both literal and metaphorical given how this summer is going!)

plain polo shirts are almost pennies in Asda and last perfectly well. Same school shirts

There is also a 10% off code that worked in conjuction with the 20% uniform offer. I think it was MSJUNE10. Will check!
