In short: school uniform tops are sized by chest measurement in inches (22 to 36) and trousers and skirts by waist (20 to 32).

Sizing questions
How do I measure my child for a school uniform?
Measure around the fullest part of the chest over a vest, keeping the tape level and snug but not tight. For trousers and skirts, measure around the natural waist.
What if my child is between two sizes?
Choose the larger size. Children grow quickly during the school year and the extra room keeps the uniform comfortable for longer.
Can I exchange a uniform if it does not fit?
Yes. Unworn and unwashed items can be exchanged for another size within 7 days of delivery.
