With many schools closed for half-term, now could be a good time to buy any new school uniform items your littl'un needs. Our round-up shows the school clothing currently available at some supermarkets and high street stores. Stock levels vary according to size, so check in store if the size you need is sold out online.

Generally, stores sell items in multipacks and it isn't possible to buy them individually. When we quote prices in our headlines we take this into account and quote the cost of buying a full school uniform using multipacks. Most of the stores below offer other school clothing items such as P.E. kit, but we've focused on the basics to show a clear-cut comparison.

Before buying, check your child's school doesn't require you to get uniform from a specific supplier. Some schools won't allow generic/supermarket uniform – we're not happy about this – but we hope the below is still of some use.

  • Before we get to the deals, here are some top tips for picking up a cheap school uniform:

    • On a low income? You could get as much as £200 a year towards the cost of your child's school uniform. For full info and to check if you're eligible, see our school uniform grant guide.

    • Look out for uniform in the sales. We've seen Sainsbury's Tu offer 25% off several times a year. M&S tends to run 20% off school uniform in June, but its big summer clearance has been known to include the odd school item too.
    • Get it second-hand for free or under a fiver. Check Facebook for groups dedicated to selling or giving away uniform that's been outgrown; your child's school might even have its own group. Your Parent Teacher Association (PTA) may be open to setting up a 'swap shop', if it doesn't already run one. If all else fails, there's Freecycle, Facebook Marketplace, eBay and charity shops.
    • Check outlet stores. Clarks Outlet* has many pairs at 50% off online and in store. M&S Outlet consists of hundreds of stores offering 30% off or more.
    • Help uniform last longer. Add name tags so items don't get lost. Learn to sew hems and make small repairs. Get your kids to change out of their uniform as soon as they get home to reduce wear 'n' tear.

Martin's Money Mantras

Before spending

If you answer 'NO' to any of the following questions, don't buy.

Skint? Ask:

  • Do I need it?
  • Can I afford it?

Not skint? Ask:

  • Will I use it?
  • Is it worth it?

Free protection for all shopping!


There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.

And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
