Throughout the year we aim to have orders completed in 2 weeks, and in many cases, we can provide garments next day. However, during the summer an order may take longer due to volume, supplier stock issues and personalising each garment, which is why we advise ordering as early as possible. Our guaranteed order dates on compulsory items are as follows.
We guarantee primary school compulsory garmentorders made before 14th Aug 2022 for delivery before back to school. We will do our absolute best to ensure that ALL customers receive their orders before back to school each year, even those placed after the guaranteed order dates.
Primary school compulsory garments with initials – we may have to suspend this service to allow us to manage large volumes during summer. Please order early if you require initials to avoid disappointment or a delay.
For senior schools we have vast stocks of each school available off the peg and an immediate purchase is most likely possible at our Schoolwear shop in Wellington Sq, Stockton. Click “here for store information.
If we have sold out of your size, we guarantee senior school compulsory garment orders made before 14th Aug 2022 for delivery before back to school. We will do our absolute best to ensure that ALL customers receive their orders before back to school each year, even those placed after the guaranteed order dates
All other orders after these dates are welcomed and we will do our absolute utmost to ensure your child receives compulsory items prior to a September start.
Please order early; the earlier the better! Since we size for growing room, it never hurts to order early! We have over 30 years of experience in sizing growing children, so we are proud to say that if you follow our size guides or are sized in-store or via LizZoom, your uniform is almost certainly going to last at least a full school year (of course, there may be some cases where they grow far more than expected, but we will do our best!) We do recommend a try-on in early August.

We pre-order uniform for every school we supply to, often as early as October (11 months early) so it arrives in time for the “back to school” summer period. As a result, senior school compulsory garment orders go through production very quickly unless there is a supplier issue with stock.
Some of the optional items for each school can take a little longer, we don’t want this to delay your order, where there maybe a delay we will contact you by phone or email to discuss your requirements.
For Primary School orders we are often asked to add the child’s initials to each of the garments, which means we can’t use “stock items”. As a result, a backlog of orders is created over the summer, which our production team do work around the clock to reduce the backlog.
We have extended our guaranteed order dates for 2022.

If your full order is not available within a reasonable timeframe our customer care team will contact you to discuss the requirements of your order and how we can help. Where we are faced with a supplier issue, we will offer an alternative item where possible, this is not always possible as some schools require garments from a specific supplier.
Some of our products appear to “jump” sizes. for example, our primary sweatshirts come in either an age 3/4 or age 5/6. This is to benefit parent/carer buying the uniform. We aim for every child’s uniform to last at least a full school year, which means we size for growing room, we want to ensure that the size you buy will last.
For senior schools, we supply in-between sizes for all our child size blazers so that we can ensure the perfect fit. At this age the requirement for a full-size range is greater.
Did you know we can also alter any garment for you with our in-house alterations service? The team in the shop can measure your requirements E.G., shorten the sleeves on a blazer or shorten a kilt and this is usually done within 7 days, early shoppers will be ready in time for back to school with a well-fitting garment.
The uniform we supply comes from the best brands in school wear, which ensures you are buying high-quality products that we know will last, and so you won’t be burdened with buying a new school jumper every month. The longer-term cost to you the parent can be significant.
