If you’re stuck for something to do this half-term holiday week, why not get out of the house and come along and see us for a morning or afternoon? We have plenty to keep and the kids occupied, while parents and grandparents can make the most of our convenient location and easy parking to do some shopping or get some household and garden jobs ticked off that to-do list.

As we hurtle towards the new school year, have you dug out your children's school uniform only to find they've grown about three sizes over the summer holidays? Or maybe you've had a last-minute change of school...

Don't panic, Simmonds has everything you need and plenty of stock to make sure you can still get your kids kitted out before school starts!

Whether you have a new starter in need of a whole new kit or a returner who’s had a bit of a growth spurt and outgrown a few items, Simmonds has everything you need to get ready for the school year; from a huge selection uniforms for schools across the south east, to school shoes and sports kit.

This super efficient, family-run business was established over 180 years ago and they are the absolute go-to for uniform to primary, secondary and prep schools, providing 50,000 school uniforms a year and dressing pupils from nearly 100 schools, some of these since the Second World War.

Aside from school uniform, they also have a huge range of school shoes, sportswear and accessories to get your kids fully kitted out. They can even do your name tapes!

Their helpful staff have years of experience and will make the whole process as quick and painless as possible. Call them to book your appointment or check on availability of the uniform items you need: 01892 83720.
