Sizing for school trousers - is it just me?

Is it impossible to get school trousers to fit properly or are my kids just a strange shape? We've been backwards and forwards (school uniform shop, John Lewis, M&S etc etc), and the ones that approximately fit round the waist are ridiculously too long, so much so that to adjust the hem would make them look ridiculous.
Any tips?

Oooh, Next, that's worth a try.... will have a peek and their sizing guide.

Its boys - and of course they love nothing better than to traipse round shops trying on school trousers!!!

No it's not you. Boys or girls?

I was doing really well getting DS1's from the school shop until he grew and became between sizes where he has a very long leg but no waist to speak of. Even the ones that on paper should fit him don't. So he is wearing Asda at the moment which were the least worst fit.

DS2 is wearing Next because they seem to fit his shape. It's trial and error.
