The retailer is also offering 20% ​​off school uniforms for early shoppers.

M&S school uniform is ranked number one by consumers for value for money by YouGov.

The move is part of the retailer’s commitment to “protect the value of the products that matter most to customers”.

M&S school uniforms are designed to last and pass a “give it back to me” quality test to ensure that even when it’s old it’s still good to waste and can be passed on to families and friend.

The line has incorporated features like anti-growth hemlines and adjustable waistbands, and the 2023 lineup continues to include fixed pleats in “easy ironing” skirts and shirts. .

Prices in the M&S range start from just £7 for a pack of three unisex polo shirts.

We took a look at what other retailers are currently offering for school uniforms and found some comparisons.

Unfortunately, we can’t include the Morrisons, Lidl and Aldi as they don’t have any school uniforms online at the moment.

We’ve checked out the price of a green plaid schoolgirl dress currently available at Marks and Spencer from £9.

Sainsbury’s has a similar dress from £5.50, John Lewis from £9, Matalan from £8 and Asda has a two-pocket plaid dress from £10.

Depending on the size of the item, the price will vary, and different retailers also offer different multi-pack sizes.

We also reviewed a pack of 2 V-neck jumpsuits priced at M&S ​​from £11.

Sainsbury’s is slightly cheaper, starting at £7, John Lewis from £7.70, Asda from £7 and Matalan from £9.

As you can see other retailers are very competitive on price and sometimes even when you take advantage of the early sign-up M&S offer, they still cost more than other retailers.

It all depends on what you are looking for in terms of quality and what your budget is.

It can be helpful to visit stores instead of buying online to be able to see and get a feel for what you’re getting for your money.
