Schools go back in less than a matter of weeks, so it’s time to get uniforms, PE kits, and pencil cases ready for the new year.
We all know school clothes don’t come cheap, which is exactly why M&S is offering 20% off its wide range of schoolwear.
If your little ones have shot up in height over the summer holidays, or have outgrown their trousers and need a new pair, now’s the perfect time to shop and save.
Designed to help you save money over the school year, many of its trousers, shirts and polo tops come in multi-packs, in durable fabrics that won’t bobble or fade, while adjustable waistbands and crease-resistant materials mean less work for parents, and less ironing.
Prices have been dropped for a limited time only, so make sure you’re organised in time for the first week of September.
Better still, multipacks start from just £7, so it won’t cost you a fortune to sort your child’s new school uniform, whether they’re making the big transition from primary to secondary, or moving up a year with all their friends.
Here’s some of the best savings to shop on M&S school uniforms:
