F&F has asked us to find 100 MNers to test out their F&F schoolwear range with their DC and provide feedback.

Here's what F&F say about their range, "At F&F we're really proud of the value and quality of our products and have spent the last year really improving our schoolwear range. Our schoolwear offering, which is available online all year round, is designed to last. With features including Teflon® fabric protector across skirts, trousers and pinafores, we believe that we've made it easier to get those stains out. Also, we've included adjustable waistbands to ensure a more comfortable fit for your children that will also help the items last that little bit longer as they grow. Finally, we've helped reduce the ironing with our permanent pleats in skirts. We'd love to see what Mumsnetters think about our F&F schoolwear range and we want to know if you agree with the outstanding quality too!"

We're looking for UK Mumsnetters, who have at least one child of school age who wears school uniform, to put the range to the test before the new term starts. If you are selected, you will be sent £100 worth of Tesco online vouchers*. We'd like you to use some of this to buy items from the F&F back to school range and the rest is a gift for you from F&F to treat yourself to some new items for the school run!

Delivery charges aren't included in the e-coupons, however there is the option to 'Click and Collect' which delivers your order to your nearby Tesco, free of charge, by the next day if you place your order by 3pm. We are aware that the summer holidays are fast approaching so we're looking for Mumsnetters who are available to carry out this product test as soon as possible.

Once you have had a chance to purchase a few items and kit your DCs out in a new uniform we'll ask you to get your LOs to put it through its paces and for you to give it a couple of washes before adding your feedback to a thread on MN.

If you're interested in taking part, please sign up here.

Thanks and good luck,

Michelle @ MNHQ

NB: You will receive x4 £25 vouchers, for each voucher you will need to spend the full value, or more.

Michelle@MumsnetHQ, when are the lucky families likely to be picked?

JoyceDivision · 07/07/2013 10:17

I've signed up, I only buy the embroided jumpers that are obligatory, after that its all supermarket uniforms for mine!

prettybird · 07/07/2013 10:22

Hmm at the odds of getting my Scottish 12 year old to wear school uniform for a few days in the summer holidays..... Grin

Signed up :-)

WithASpider · 07/07/2013 20:30

Done, my 3 ( 2 at primary one pre school with uniform) could decimate a uniform in a few weeks!

Ghostsgowoooh · 07/07/2013 21:28

Done.. would really like this. Got four dc and one is moving up to high school and my youngest is starting school!

blueberryboybait · 07/07/2013 21:40

This would be great, DD has outgrown a lot of her uniform and the rest is covered in grass or paint stains.

YourHandInMyHand · 07/07/2013 21:47

Done. Would love to test some on DS and his uniform bought in September is shamefully past his best so I've no doubt he would love to get his hands on some bright white polo tops and trousers the right length. Grin Blush

newbiefrugalgal · 07/07/2013 22:30

I have two boys 5&6 years. Great hard wearing testers at the ready!

DoItTooJulia · 07/07/2013 22:30

I'm in! Ds1 is 8 and has already been through 3 sets of uniform this year and he could really do with another one before the end of term, but I am on maternity leave, so just can't afford it.

I have tried lots of different uniforms, including Sainsburys, Asda, John Lewis and a local uniform shop, but funnily enough, never Tesco. I'd be able to give a thorough review!

mrslurkalot · 08/07/2013 09:54

Done! We break up on the 24th. Normally buy m&s but need to find something cheaper that still lasts. Very happy to review.

bulletwithbutterflywings · 08/07/2013 10:35

Signed up, Hope to get picked to change my mind from sticking onto schooldays all the time.

vincenta · 08/07/2013 11:49

My son is starting reception class in September. He goes to nursery at the moment and need school clothes too.Just was thinking that he need new polo shirts, trousers(too short) and short in that hot weather would be handy too. When he will go to reception class only his jumper colour will change all other school clothes ill be the same.

Vajazzler · 08/07/2013 12:20

Any news on when we'll find out if we've been picked?

Greenoes · 08/07/2013 13:20

I've joined up - DS2 is looking at career options as a human wrecking ball and he doesn't finish until the 25th.
