Probably stupid question about school uniform but I'm new to all this...

[bamboo]

I've bought dd the bare essentials as far as uniform goes but I'm sure she'll need another pair of trousers at some stage. I like the M&S trousers I bought her (the cheap Sainsbury's ones looked shabby on the knees after two days!) but will, eg, M&S sell uniform all year round or should I get online and get what I need now?

Online I think you'll be able to buy all year round, though the shops may not have stock. I find that Next is usually quite hard-wearing for trousers, and Woolies is excellent for shirts. HOpe this helps

It won't be in the shops, but you can order it in a shop or online

Thank you - I should be OK to leave it for the moment then. I never thought to look at Next but that's handy to know. She's pretty skinny so they would hopefully be a reasonable fit.
