A FIRST FOR THE KING’S SCHOOL CHESTER

The historic King’s School at Chester has seen many events over the centuries, as it was founded by none other than Henry VIII in 1541. Until now, it had never had its own school shop – but the school shop now installed at King’s comes with a special added extra. For most of the year, the shop is situated in a compact area of the school, which is ideal for parents to visit whilst collecting or dropping off their children, and for pupils to visit in a safe environment to try on uniforms and sports kit. However, things change in July, the key Back to School time, when the entire shop

They really know the schoolwear business, and

Tudor Hall School Takes on New PE Kit and a Shop!

Tudor Hall School in Oxfordshire has established its own school shop – with the help of the John Cheatle Group. Previously supplied with uniforms through one of John Cheatle Group’s retail outlets, D&P in Nottingham, the school decided that having its own shop on the premises would bring a number of benefits, not least of which was the convenience for parents and pupils of being able to try items on before buying. Although the shop itself is relatively compact, and a limited amount of stock is kept on-site, efficient stock and ordering systems now mean that uniforms can be ordered

New School Shop Benefits Derby High School

A new, on-site school shop at Derby High School has proved very popular with parents since it opened.

As regional schoolwear manager Carol Redford described, moving to a school shop was a significant decision: “It is the next stage for an independent school, bringing the convenient shopping experience right into the school grounds
