Well, I'm going by what their official policy is. Whether you follow it is of course up to you - I don't think they're massively strict about enforcing it unless someone's completely taking the mickey. The logo polo shirts are ?6.50 but they wash better than the (cheaper) plain Sainsbury's ones, I've found.
I think we may all be talking at cross-purposes here... The official policy as I understand it is either a plain white shirt (i.e. a 'proper' shirt, not a polo shirt) or a polo shirt with a logo. Not a logo-less polo shirt - though that said I've seen many kids wear them.

Thanks all again! Sounds like I need to return the plain white polo t-shirts I got and get shirts. I did read the guidance on the website too fast the first time and got a bit too excited ordering!


Final question - can you only buy the navy sweater from the school? Are there any shops that sell them?

Honestly , you can wear a plain white polo shirt or the official logo polo shirt from the school office .

My experience is the opposite to yours , the ones I get from Asda are 100 percent cotton and wash way better than the school ones , I would never buy a logo top for more money when I can get plain 100 percent cotton for less .

Most schools don't mind if the polo tops are plain or with the logo as long as they are polo tops and the colour matches .

You will be fine with the plain polo shirts. You can also buy iron-on heber logos for jumpers and cardigans directly from the school - I much prefer to buy plain jumpers/cardigans for my daughter and attach the iron-on (which also benefit from being stitched ) logos - the shape and material of the school jumpers and cardies doesn't suit my daughter.

The school has 2 inset days on Tuesday and Wednesday 1/2 September but the office staff may still be available to take calls/enquiries - might be better than trying to purchase on first day back amongst the rush.....

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other.  
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
