Schoolblazer is the leading supplier of uniform and sportswear to independent schools in the UK, providing for more than 200 schools.
Founded in 2004, Co-Founders Tim James and Robin Horsell recognised that schools wanted product quality, service reliability and product differentiation. Almost 20 years on, Schoolblazer continues to innovate in design and fabrics, whilst incorporating sustainability into every decision.
Since its inception, Schoolblazer has been committed to an ethical approach, ensuring workers’ rights are prioritised and that any environmental impact is taken into account. Our annual environmental report demonstrates this commitment as we re-focus our efforts each year. We know that our garments need to last through the busy school year and design them to be worn 200+ times. By contrast, the average fashion garment is worn only 7 times.
In the last year, Schoolblazer has:
- Continued to offset all carbon produced in the manufacture and supply of garments
- Ensured that we are on track to meet a 90% sustainable cotton target by the end of 2023
- Reduced our single plastic usage to 25% through a circular blazer shipping programme and the removal of all plastic packaging from the majority of our new garments. These are now shipped in paper bags and we have been trialling ‘naked shipping’ i.e. no packaging, in a number of schools.
- Increased the number of sports garments produced with recycled polyester. It is now possible to order an entire range of sportswear for a school in recycled polyester.
