Uniform sizing

[678socks]

Uniform - given the expense and the need for extra uniform for boarders do you buy big for the first year? The idea of replacing most of it annually is a bit horrifying. Secondhand options are limited. Our supplier uses intelligent sizing to recommend the right size to get.
thanks

I didn’t buy loads - wait and work out how efficient the laundry is. Ours is very quick and sport uniform not needed on consecutive days which helps some items. Plus my child
had done most growing so only grew out of some things. Plus loads of stuff on the list is also not used/ needed.
buy one of everything early to sort sizing out, then do a second order for top ups of jumpers shirts basic sport stuff and then you can always order extra items straight to school as needed.
we also discovered an informal second hand swap situation when we got there - which has helped

Perfect thank you! We have things like £54 sports shirt (two required)…..

Be warned. If the intelligent sizing you are referring to is Schoolblazer, it often gets it wrong. It’s no substitute for trying stuff on.
