School T-Shirt Printing in London

πŸ“… March 31, 2026 ✍️ James Whitfield ⏱️ 6 min read

From house-color event tees to leavers' hoodies, here's how London schools can plan custom printing that's accurate, affordable, and on time.

1. Common School Order Types

House-color sports day t-shirts, leavers' hoodies, school club shirts, and staff uniforms are among the most common orders we handle for London schools.

2. Keeping It Budget-Friendly

Schools often work with limited budgets β€” screen printing in 1–2 colors at bulk volume is usually the most cost-effective option for large student cohorts.

3. Sizing for Students

Youth sizing runs differently from adult sizing β€” always confirm youth vs adult sizes when ordering for younger students, and collect sizes via a simple form.

4. Timing Around the School Year

Order leavers' hoodies in early spring for a summer delivery, and sports day shirts at least 3 weeks before the event to avoid term-time delays.

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip

Order a few extra pieces beyond your headcount β€” new admissions and sizing exchanges are common in school orders.
