How to Place a Uniform Order

Please click the School Colours Direct logo. This takes you to the School Colours Direct website, where you will need to create an account the first time you order. Subsequently, you can log in as a returning customer. You will then be able to order the usual range of school items.  

Delivery

Shipping is free-to-school on a fortnightly basis or you can pay an additional fee for your order to be shipped to a home/work address within 3 working days. If you wish to choose the free-to-school delivery remember that it can take up to 2 weeks for your order to arrive at the school. If your order is urgent, to replace lost or damaged items for example, it is often better to have the parcel delivered to a home address.

Uniform orders can be collected during term time from the School Reception on the first and third Thursday of each month between 3.00pm and 4.45pm (provided your order is placed by 10 am on Wednesday) or if you prefer your son/daughter can collect the order from Reception.

Delivery information is available on the Schools Colours Direct web shop; just click on ‘Delivery and Returns’ which is on every garment page.

Please be aware that delivery to school can take two week so if you son/daughter does not have the right uniform items, please use delivery to home.

 

Free-to-School Shipping During School Holidays

Please note that the school is closed in the summer holidays. We will offer a number of collection days during the Summer Holidays and these will be published near the end of the school year.
