M&S is a one stop shop for schoolwear offering the widest range of school uniform on the high street including sportswear, lab coats, underwear, accessories and stationery.

For just £6.50 your children will be ready for school with a 100% cotton jumper, 100% cotton polo shirt and an easycare, crease resistant skirt or pair of non iron, Stormwear™ trousers.

This is a reduction of 30% on the 2007 uniform price but with no compromise on fit or quality.

In order to offer customers the best possible choice when buying their £6.50 uniform, M&S offers £3.50 trousers and skirts in three colour options, £1 polo shirts in five colour options and £2 jumpers in three colour options.

M&S makes mum's life easier with technologies such as the "Stain Defence" finish which is applied to skirts and trousers and forms an invisible barrier to liquids and the "Stain Away" treatment applied to shirts and polos which resists ink, grass and food stains.

For busy mums M&S offers customers the option to purchase on line where the full range can be complemented with a wide range of tights, socks, name tapes and accessories.

This year M&S will convert some of its school blazers to polyester made from recycled plastic bottles. The use of recycled polyester is part of the M&S Plan A commitment to ensuring that key raw materials come from the most sustainable sources available.

The complete Back to School range is available throughout the year from www.marksandspencer.com.
