At The Bewdley School, we want to ensure that our students have access to high-quality uniforms that offer excellent value for money, alongside a reliable service for all our parents and carers. We recognise that in recent years this has not always been the case, and while The School Shop aligned with our ethos as a local family business, the overall experience fell far below our expectation for service and quality.
Many parents/carers will have noticed that The School Shop has announced they are closing down in December. We want to reassure our community that our decision to leave The School Shop was made at the start of term. Since then a thorough tendering exercise has taken place to enable us to select Clive Mark as our new uniform supplier.
We have selected Clive Mark as our new uniform supplier on the basis of:
- Value for Money: Our new supplier offers competitive pricing, ensuring that parents and carers receive the best value for their investment in school uniforms.
- Quality of Uniform: The uniforms provided by our new supplier are of superior quality, designed to withstand daily wear and tear, thereby reducing the need for frequent replacements.
- Reliable Service: Our supplier has a reputation for dependable service, ensuring that uniforms are delivered on time and meet the specifications we have set.
- Payment / Delivery Options: Clive Mark offers a range of payment and delivery options to suit every family’s needs
– Pay in 3 – Interest free on orders over £35
– Free Delivery to school – Order online, select ‘click and collect’ for their orders under £50 then we will include them in a free weekly delivery to school which we will aim to arrive on a Friday by DPD
– Free Delivery on orders over £50 - Discounts – Our new supplier will offer ‘back to school specials’ to ensure that costs are kept to a minimum
- High Levels of Stock – Clive Mark already hold high levels of stock ensuring that there is availability all year around, with quick delivery.
- Customer Support – With a UK based team, Clive Mark are able to support parent/carers over the phone, or via email with any queries, quickly and efficiently
The transition to the our new supplier has been taking place over the last few weeks and they already hold quantities of stock in all our uniform items, with our PE Technical T-Shirt and School Uniform Shorts due to go live this week (WC 2 December).
Parents and carers can purchase uniforms through their online store – The Bewdley School Uniform – Clive Mark, or via our website – Uniform – The Bewdley School.
Pre-Loved Uniform can continue to be purchased, along with new school ties from our school reception or by emailing Office@bewdley.worcs.sch.uk
If you have any questions or require assistance during this transition, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this transition. Our goal is to ensure a smooth process that benefits all members of our school community.
