Already have a supplier?

Good. Put us side by side.

Most leavers orders go to whoever did it last year. That's fair: nobody wants extra risk in the summer term. So we've taken the risk out. See the proof, hold the sample, check the price per pupil, then decide.

How ordering works

Two ways to order. You choose the effort.

Option A

School order

Best if the school or PTA is paying, or you already collect money in your own system.

  1. Send us one list: name, size, colour.
  2. We check every name and send the proof.
  3. You approve. One invoice to the school.
  4. Delivered to school on the agreed date.

Option B · Least work for school

Parents order direct

We run a private ordering page just for your school. Parents order and pay us, and we do the chasing.

  1. We set up your page with your crest, design and closing date.
  2. You send one link or QR code home with your newsletter or app.
  3. Parents pick a size, type the name to print and pay by card or Apple Pay.
  4. We check names against your list, print, and deliver to school in one drop.

With option B, the school does three things: share the link, agree the closing date, hand out the hoodies. No cash in envelopes, no order forms, no money through the school's books.

What parents see

One minute. One phone. Done.

  • A private page for your school only. It doesn't appear in our shop, in search or on Google.
  • Parents see your crest, your design and their own order. Never a list of pupils or anyone else's details.
  • They type the name exactly as it should print and see it straight away, then confirm the spelling.
  • No delivery charge and no address to fill in. Everything comes to school together.
  • The page closes itself on your closing date. Late joiners? We reopen it for a few days.

Questions schools ask

Good to know.

Do you charge extra for names?

No. Every pupil's name is printed on the back as part of the price per pupil, along with your crest or leavers logo on the front, the artwork and the proofs.

Is there a minimum order?

No. We can do one form group or the whole year. Under 25 pupils, just ask us for a price.

Can we see one before we commit?

Yes. Tell us about your year group and send your crest, and we'll send a proof, a price per pupil and a delivery date, then a free sample hoodie for staff and pupils to see and try on.

How do parents pay?

With option B, parents order on your school's private page and pay us by card or Apple Pay. No cash, no order forms and no money through the school's books. If the school or PTA is paying, choose option A and we send one invoice.

How do you make sure the names are right?

Parents type the name exactly as it should print and confirm the spelling. We then check every name against your class list and you sign off a final names proof before anything is printed.

Do you do Year 6 and kids' sizes?

Yes. Kids' sizes are available on most garments and cost less than adult sizes.

Can staff have one too?

Yes. Matching staff hoodies are the same price per head.
