The Marks and Spencer school uniform shopping trip has always been a rite of passage, for kids and adults alike. Whether it's school shoes or polo shirts - as well as the food hall for assembling healthy packed lunches - M&S truly has it all when it comes to the school shop. With a new school year just around the corner, now is the best time to stock up on back-to-school essentials.
Rather than leaving everything until the last minute - navigating crowded aisles with tired children and rummaging through endless piles of neatly folded shirts - browsing the M&S website might make the experience a lot less stressful. With nominated day delivery available, it's even possible to get your order the next day. This way, they can try on their uniforms from the comfort of their own home.
Although we hope that their school uniforms will last forever, it's only a matter of time before they're in need of a new school bag for the coming year. And, given the rate at which children grow, you might notice the hem of their trousers getting shorter and shorter each time. However, Marks and Spencer school uniforms have adjustable hems and stain-resistant fabric to ensure these are uniforms that are made to last.
To make shopping for school supplies a little easier, here's the best of the Marks and Spencer school uniform range for all of the back-to-school basics. We've selected some of the most popular pieces from the edit, some of which are selling fast. So, be sure to shop our top picks below.

Where To Shop Preloved Marks And Spencer School Uniforms?
Given that they have a range of affordable school uniforms, Marks and Spencer sell nearly seven million pieces of school uniforms a year. However, when there’s no room left for growing, the M&S 'Back To School Shwopping Scheme' allows preloved school uniforms to be donated, instead of being thrown away.
Across M&S stores, hundreds of 'Shwop' boxes were rolled out so that customers could donate their preloved uniforms. And, in return, receive 20% off selected kids' clothing.
Due to a long-standing partnership with Oxfam, shoppers will also be able to buy school uniform pieces that have passed the 'hand-me-down' quality test in-store at Oxfam.
