HIGH PERFORMANCE SCHOOLWEAR A BETTER LOOK FOR EDUCATION

WelcomeSchool uniform plays a key role in promoting the important values of togetherness, identity and equality within schools. Weve learned this through speaking to headteachers and administrators in schools across the UK.

Our role as a school uniform supplier is to support these values by supplying great quality uniform that projects a strong positive image of the school, backed by a first class service. Our team of head office staff and field representatives are utterly dedicated to these objectives.

All our garments are made specifically for the schoolwear market which means they are durable and hard wearing. Our Comprehensive Quality Guarantee provides evidence of the confidence we have in our quality standards. We wont compromise the identity of your school by supplying inferior garments. If you are not satisfied with a product, we will replace it at our expense.

We also recognise the hefty workload placed on school headteachers and administrators and see it as our responsibility to ensure dealing with uniform is straightforward and simple. Our range of new services is designed with this in mind and provides a menu of solutions all designed to make uniform admin easier.

If you are new to School Trends, give us a try, we wont let you down. If you are already a customer, thank you, we really do appreciate your business.

Daran Brown Managing Director, School Trends
