FAQ
If your school is looking for a new school uniform supplier, we are here to help you. We provide high quality, sustainable uniforms with bespoke branding, and an easy online ordering process. We are the only school uniform supplier in Ireland with a profit-sharing partnership that financially benefits schools directly. Switching suppliers is simple, and we will support you every step of the way. From design and setup, to parent communications, and ongoing stock management support.
We receive a lot of enquiries from schools searching for a new school uniform supplier. They wish to change school uniform suppliers for different reasons.
Below are some of the most common questions we are asked by schools;
1.What are the costs of garments?
The cost of garments is dependent on a number of factors. Large quantities will bring the price down, compared to small quantities. There are different fabric, colour, embroidery, and design options, which also influence the final price. We guarantee to match or beat your current or proposed supplier, on price. Get in touch to find out.
2.How can parents check sizes if there is no physical shop?
Yes, all purchases of uniforms are done through the online store (except Tier 4). We have a very simple solution to parents checking sizes - we provide the school with a 'sample-set' of all garments, in all sizes. When we come in as a new supplier, it's normal for parents to be confused about whether or our sizes are small-fitting, large-fitting, or true-to-size. The sample set that remains in the school allows parents (and children) to check sizes, at the convenience of the school and families.
3.Can you design a new tracksuit from scratch?
Yes, we can. A lot of schools are changing their uniforms. Some are getting rid of the formal school uniform (wool jumper, shirt & tie), and replacing it with a new tracksuit design. Other schools want to change the design of a tracksuit that they've had for years. We have assisted 100s of schools throughout Ireland to make these changes. You can choose from a set design, or we can develop a bespoke design with your school colours and crest. We start with a digital design of 3-4 different styles, your Board of Management chooses the one they like. We then produce a physical sample of the garments for your approval. You can check the quality from the physical samples. This process is very fast and assisted by our dedicated design team.
4.How does our school financially benefit?
We are the only school uniform supplier in Ireland that shares profits with schools! Your school can financially benefit, every year, by choosing School & Sports Wear as your official supplier. Funding ranges from 10% to a massive 50%. Every garment sold results in a % of the profits going directly to your school. There are 4 Tiers to choose from, each with a different % and terms.
