As the summer term is slowly winding down, with a much-needed six-week break ahead, you’ve probably not given much thought to your children’s school uniform for September 2021.
Frankly, you might be pleased to see the back of school, as term time has been heavily impacted by the pandemic since classrooms refilled on 8 March, following online learning at home during lockdown.
However, M&S currently has 20 per cent off boys’ and girls’ school uniforms, so, if you’re organised, you can bag a bargain and be ready for a new school year months ahead of time.
With discounts across shirts, jumpers, trousers, PE tracksuits, dresses, cardigans and more, there are plenty of essentials on offer.
We’ve trawled through them all to find the best deals, whether you’re looking to refresh the basics that your kids have outgrown, or are shopping for a completely new wardrobe ahead of a new school start.
