Many parents are frantically rushing round trying to get the last few bits of school uniform before the children return to school in the next couple of weeks. If you have left it quite late then you may struggle to find the sizes of school clothing you need.
Firstly you need to get out all their school uniform from last year and see what still fits them. It may be that the majority of their clothing fits them so you can hold off until Christmas to buy new, but many shops will only stock large amounts of school uniform from July through to September.
It may be worth ordering school uniform online as you may have more of a selection. If you do this, then allow plenty of time to return the items and order another size in case they do not fit.
Many shops that sell school uniform will have offers on from time to time and this can save you a small fortune.
When it comes to school shoes you will probably need your child with you to be able to try these on. It is important to remember that your school child will be spending the majority of their time in their shoes so it is important that they fit well and are comfortable.
