The shop accepts all major credit and debit cards. We are very happy to manage orders by phone or e-mail. It is recommended that new pupils try on their clothes to ensure that they have the correct size.

During term time pupils and parents can purchase items from the shop and charge them to the school bill, you will then receive a detailed invoice at the end of term attached to the main school bill.

Current uniform prices can be found on the shop website www.shop.fettes.com

Appointment System

Uniform fittings last approximately one hour therefore it is essential during term time to make an appointment in advance to ensure we have adequate staff in the shop.

The Thrift Shop, which sells second-hand items, is part of the main school shop.

Naming Clothing

All items must be clearly named before arriving at school.

Woven nametapes, which are sewn on, tend to last better. We also recommend that all be clearly named (you can use self-adhesive labels or a permanent marker).

All and electronic items should be engraved.

It is the responsibility of parents and guardians to ensure that all clothing and equipment is fully named. Preferably, in the back of the collar or waistband.

We have the facility to label uniform in the school shop and the cost is 50p an item. All uniform must be tried on and paid for before it is labelled.

All bags, including swimming bags, games bag and suitcases should also be named.
