Where to buy London Orotary uniform?

Already planning/ budgeting for secondary uniform

Where do you buy these? I see on website that a school shop is open 3 days a week after school for 1hr or so, but could not see a website for the provider or ability to purchase online

Also can the white shirts and grey trousers be brought from other retailers such as M&S/ Asda?

Please help a fellow mother out as I am getting nowhere fast!

Ring school and ask?

(If you're searching online, check your spelling - Oratory.)

Yes sorry should have spell checked!

I’m not sure that a huge website like mumsnet is the best place to ask a question about 1 very specific school in London. Ring and ask, surely? It’s a 5 minute job and you’re sorted. How can you be getting nowhere fast? Just call them!

I googled the school name + uniform and it looks like it's available to buy online from this website clonboyltd.co.uk/

Thank you so much

But it’s good for a stealth boast…

Maybe get this moved to Secondary Education, OP.

No but I could help if you want for Ysgol Bro Llan y Afon

It’s not a stealth boast if you can’t spell it!

Prospectus says something like uniform must be 'official pattern and material'.

Official uniform shop appears to have spectacularly useless opening hours. But if this is the only place to get 'official trousers' then they can open when they like.

I’m paying £27,000 for my ds to go to school
Can I get his shirts from Asda ?
Not unless you want him to be ostracised

Being generous I assume that he's on a bursary, scholarship programme and therefore the whole work of elite private school is a new one to the op.

There may well be a scholarship contact point who will be able to give you more information.

Google has also proven helpful.

@TheHoptimist I pay £39k and get them from M&S. Will my dc be ok do you think?

I just assumed that the op was feeling rather overwhelmed by the whole prospect and wanted a bit of moral as well as practical support

The London Oratory is a Catholic secondary school. It isn’t a fee paying private school.

Sorry I can't help OP. My brother and various friends went there a long time ago though.

Not sure I understand the comments above. It's not a private school. Its a Catholic school and for my part all the people were London Irish working class! No idea what is like now but being a Catholic school often lends itself to a range of ethnicities some of whom English may be a second language.

It’s the school the shadow cabinet try and get their kids into

I see the dicks are out in force today.

Absolutely PP - It is still a state Catholic secondary boys school so I’m puzzled by some of the passive aggressive comments to the OP.

Unbelievable
