Uniform is worn at our school to develop a sense of pride in being a member of our very special school community. We ask that you help us to maintain this high standard and ensure your child is appropriately dressed.  Our aim is for uniform to be affordable for all members of our school community. 

In line with other schools, we are currently moving over to ordering uniform online direct from the supplier.  At present, parents can still order uniform at the old prices via Scopay until our stock runs out.

The new online service will allow parents and carers to order and make payment securely directly to Gooddies, who supply our uniform.   There is a bespoke online web shop which displays all the items they can supply.  The advantage of this is they can provide a larger range than the school previously stocked and parents will be able to order smaller or larger sizes than before.

You can access this here:  https://www.gooddies.co.uk/product-category/schools/shinfield-st-marys-ce-junior-school/

When you place an order, your details will be securely saved so that you can log in to your account and track the progress of your order, re-order and check billing information.  Once an order has been placed you will receive an order confirmation email.

Delivery

Parents can choose free delivery to school, or a home delivery service is available at a cost of £6.95.  Home delivery is approx. 5-7 working days (subject to stock availability) or delivery to school will be twice monthly.

When your order has been shipped, you will receive a shipping notification email advising you to collect your order from school, or, if you have opted for home delivery, that it’s on its way to your chosen shipping address.

Returns

You will have 14 days from receipt of an order to return any item that has not been washed or worn and does not contain name labels.  Returned items must be in the condition in which they were delivered.  You are advised to return using a proof of delivery service, such as Royal Mail, which would be at your own cost (postage is non-refundable).  You will then be refunded for the items returned to your original method of payment within 10 working days.  You must then re-order the items you require through the webstore.  As they do not hold embroidered stock, they cannot provide exchanges.

Faulty items

If you purchase an item and it develops a fault within a two-month period of purchase they will provide the school with a pre-paid bag for the return of the item, with a form for you to complete with proof of purchase and order details. They will have the item inspected by the manufacturer and if the item is found to be faulty, they will refund or replace where necessary.
