The future of our planet and continuing to reduce our impact on the environment is extremely important to us, as well as making uniform that stands up to school life!
Action on Sustainability
Made to Last
All our uniform is "Made to Last" - a performance and ethical committment that has been a core part of our oganisation throughout its history. We do not provide fast fashion that is disposed of at the next season, our uniform is consistent in colour, care and construction.
Carbon Neutral
Carbon offsetting is a way to mitigate the carbon we use as a business, generating back positively in the environment. We have been carbon neutral since 2012 and are working towards reducing our carbon usage each year.
Renewably Sourced Finish
We use this more environmentally friendly stain repellency finish for our trousers, shorts & skirts.
Sustainably Sourced
Our blazers, trousers and some styles of skirts use 100% recycled post-consumer polyester and sustainably sourced viscose. Our 100% cotton knitwear uses responsibly sourced cotton.
Action on Reducing Plastics
100% Recycled Fabric
Our standard blazers (not Elements) use 100% recycled post-consumer polyester for the outer and inner fabric. Trousers (TLT, TSF, junior boys and TPT) use 100% recycled polyester and sustainably sourced viscose as well as the skirts using these fabrics (GPB, GSA, GPS).
Reducing Single Use Plastic
We are on a mission to reduce our single use plastics where we can and are committed to reducing their use by at least 50% by 2025.
Saving Plastic Bottles from Landfill
Thanks to our customers, we have saved over 14 million plastic bottles from reaching landfill in 2022. (this is based on units sold during 2022 of the products using recycled post consumer polyester; blazers, trousers and skirts).
Reducing Micro-Plastics
We are doing our bit to minimise the shedding of our products whilst retaining fabric quality and comfort. Our sweatshirts shed 60% less fabric than high street competitors meaning less micro-plastics end up in the world's oceans.
