School Uniform & School Clothing

When we opened Hampton College as a brand new secondary school in September 2005, we made the decision to use Total Promotions as our school uniform supplier: We have never regretted this decision and 4 years ago moved to online selling. They took all of our stock and the whole process was really easy. The quality of the clothing has been excellent, and nothing has been too much trouble for Jan and her staff; they have always met our parent deadlines, even when they have involved fast turn-around times. We would be very happy to recommend Total Promotions to other schools who are thinking about choosing an online supplier.

• The right garments in the right size making life easier for parents AND offering the school significant savings

I used Total Promotions online service to order my daughter’s Hampton College uniform and found the website very convenient and easy to use. The size guides are clear and the pictured items are well labelled to avoid confusion. The ordering and delivery service were spot on. The uniform is comfortable and made with quality materials and the one thing that made me really happy is that I don’t have to dry clean the blazer. It’s washable!
