School Uniform
Dear parents and carers
In order to provide the best service we can for our parents and carers, we have made the decision to move uniform suppliers, the main benefits of the new provider are:
In line with our school policy on sustainability, we are moving to a local company in Faringdon, Simply Schoolwear, One London Street, Faringdon, Oxon, SN7 7AE
- The quality of uniform that we currently provide is not compromised as the stock is from the same manufacturer
- The turnaround times for you will be better, 3-5 working days for uniform and 5-10 days for Team Farmors kit which is considerably better than current timescales, where parents have been waiting for around 6 weeks at times
- Your order is delivered directly to you and comes ready name tagged
- Your order can be placed over the internet, by telephone or by calling into their shop in Faringdon
Over the next year, as we sell out of the stock we are holding in school, the handover to Simply Schoolwear will take place. I hope that this will be a simple process as the school stock will be sold first and items in each size will only be available from Simply Schoolwear website once all of our stock for that size has been sold. This means that for any of the items below you should approach the school first, Simply Schoolwear will redirect you to us if we still have stock in the sizes you need as we are working together on the handover:
School sweatshirts; polo shirts (white and blue); rugby shirts; games socks (short white/navy); sports socks (long navy/gold); football shorts. A pricelist and order form for everything that is currently still available from the school is also available from the school website or from the school office (School Uniform Order form).
There will be other items of uniform available from Simply Schoolwear straight away, (see below for a link to the Simply Schoolwear site).
If and when you need to order Team Farmors kit, please ensure your child needs this before you order as it is personalised and therefore non returnable. Please note however, that all orders will be checked against a list of eligible students provided by the PE department.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions. We hope the process will be smooth for us all, but as with any plans, please bear with us if there are teething problems.
Yours sincerely
