Mill Hill School Foundation is delighted to announce a positive and proactive step forward in relation to the purchase of individual school uniform items.

The Foundation's traditional outfitters, Howard Brothers, is a family run business and has been supplying our school uniform for over 30 years. Their extensive experience in the school uniform trade assures parents of the best quality uniforms at competitive prices and can offer a full telephone order/postal service to those who cannot visit the shop in person.

Their shop, located on Mill Hill Broadway, is open six days a week from 9.00 am until 5.30 pm and contact information is as follows:

A new alternative supplier is Schoolblazer. This young company is now in its third year and is already successfully serving other prominent independent schools. It offers parents an online purchasing facility available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and benefits include:

• 'Intelligent sizing' system recommends sizes, avoiding unnecessary returns
• Delivery to parents' homes via DHL within 8 working days of order
• Free nametagging using sewn on woven name tapes
• Secure credit card facilities

and is ideal for boarding or overseas parents.

This service, available from 1 July 2006, can be accessed via their website www.schoolblazer.com and provides uniform items of comparable quality to other sellers.

The Foundation welcomes the flexibility that these two options offer, enabling parents to choose the most convenient way to shop.
