Are there any prep school parents out there?
Where do you buy plain white trainers, plain white sunhat & plain black winter hat & scarf from without breaking the bank?
Trying to get organised for September start & feeling a bit overwhelmed with the uniform list!

Ours are supposed to wear plain white trainers - skechers do some, decathlon etc - but reality is they all wear pairs with some colour on and many are all colours except white! Do check with current parents what is actually worn and accpetable as often the official list is the stuff from the school shop but many parents will shop elsewhere for all but specific logo'd/house colour items , or at the second hand uniform sales. John Lewis plain coloured generic school stuff isn't hugely expensive but hold off on the winter stuff until nearer the time.
