We print and embroider clothing for primary and secondary schools, academies, colleges, universities and nurseries. Whether it's leavers hoodies, staff polos, PE kit, trip t-shirts or clothing for a school event, we help you choose garments and branding, and deliver it sorted for handing out.

What we make for schools and education

  • Leavers hoodies and t-shirts with the school crest on the front and every leaver's name on the back.
  • Staff uniforms: embroidered polos, fleeces and softshells for teaching assistants, site teams, catering staff and reception.
  • PE and sports kit for teams and house colours, including names and numbers. See our club kit printing.
  • Trip clothing: matching t-shirts or hoodies so groups are easy to spot on school trips and residentials. Universities can see our ski trip and society clothing.
  • Event and fundraising clothing for sports days, fun runs, open days and PTA events.
  • Bags, caps and accessories such as book bags and drawstring PE bags.

Choosing the right method

Embroidery is the hardest-wearing choice for staffwear and crests on polos and sweatshirts, from 8 pieces with a one-off £20 digitising charge. For leavers hoodies, a printed list of names on the back is usually done by DTF or screen printing, with the crest embroidered or printed on the front. Screen printing starts at 25 pieces with £25 per screen. Digital print has no minimum. See our embroidery page for more.

Making ordering easy

  • Size lists and names. Send us a spreadsheet with each person's name and size, and we'll pack in that order or by class or form group.
  • Size samples. We can help you check fit before a whole year group orders.
  • Repeat orders. Your logo, garments and positions are kept on file for future orders.
  • Proof first. You approve a visual proof before anything is printed or stitched, including the spelling of every name.

Lead times and term dates

Typically 5–7 working days from approval and payment, subject to stock. Express delivery is available. For leavers hoodies, collect names and sizes early and send them in one go. Set a cut-off date for students and parents. If you're aiming for the last week of term, tell us the date when you ask for a quote.

Garments that work well

Popular choices include heavyweight hoodies in school colours, t-shirts for trips and events, sweatshirts, polos and fleeces for staff, and organic and sustainable blanks for schools that want a lower-impact option.
