Have a look at the shops tab on the school website. Don't know your area but hopefully it will help.

I do hope you manage to get a replacement in time (DS2's school jumper has gone walkabout somewhere this week, fortunately theirs are a nice generic plain black and we have a good if rather motley supply of those hanging about the house anyway). I was going to say, don't you have a spare? - but then out of sheer idle curiosity I followed quasimodo's link and saw the prices :shock:. DS2's rugby shirts are the pair I originally bought for DS1 from the PA second hand stall for a fiver each, but I think that to put together our equivalent of the BV 'year 7 bundle' brand new would have cost me less than £50. Obviously things are not necessarily more expensive here in the south...

You could try Gogna school wear. They have a shop in Handsworth, but I ordered all my DS sportswear for Five Ways on line and had it delivered.

Hi, my reply may be a bit late, but you can try Clive Mark Schoolwear. There is a shop in Wylde Green and they are also online.

It's Maudesport in Aldridge. I've had appalling service from them - 5 months from ordering a rugby shirt to receiving it - but they are the sole supplier. Two tops, two pairs of shorts and a pair of socks was £93! The school have been tearing their hair out about them.

Then why on earth don't they appoint an alternative supplier and give that one the push, or at least authorise a second supplier?

It's their first year as supplier. Hopefully their last!

Were the previous suppliers dumped because they were too expensive?
