Exclusive uniforms. Bespoke service.
Exclusive uniforms. Bespoke service This brochure gives you a small taste of what Schoolblazer can offer your school and we hope that you like what you see. We founded Schoolblazer in 2004 because, as parents of children in Independent Schools, we were frustrated by the quality of school wear offered and the service which we received. We realised there was a better way to supply exceptional quality school uniforms whilst giving excellent customer service. Our goals were very simple; to take the chore out of uniform shopping for parents, to solve the problems of supply for independent schools and to transform quality with better fabrics, designs and tailoring. Today business is thriving; we now supply almost 100 schools, and have provided a complete uniform redesign to well over half of these. We developed the business with our innovative online approach, providing the convenience of web-based ordering and free sewn-in name tapes. We have built on this in the last few years, recognising that not all schools want a solely web-based service, but they all want access to our unique product. We now offer a variety of supply options, built around our product and web expertise, but designed to ensure that we tailor our service to the needs of your parents and your school. Of course, all of this is supported by our total commitment to quality and value. We d love to come and discuss how we can provide a superior service and product for your school and your parents.

www.schoolblazer.com Our revolutionary website We are proud of our website. It was built to make ordering school uniform as simple and stress free as possible. Our child focussed approach guides parents through a simple step by step process, recommending the correct size and type of product based on the child s size, gender, house and which sector of the school they are in. Intelligent sizing Our unique intelligent sizing system ensures the perfect fit and delivers the lowest level of returns in the industry Accurate sizing is vital, so we have developed a unique intelligent sizing system. When parents first register on our website they simply enter the measurements of their child; our sophisticated software then directs them to the best fit for the garments they require. We give guidance on how the product will fit, and even tell parents what the fit will be like in a year s time - no guessing or letting others choose for you!
