School uniforms by Uniforme Prestige

At United KingdomIn the United Kingdom, uniforms are worn in almost all public and public schools. This is not the case in France. However, a growing number of schools have decided to adopt it. Why?

The role of school uniforms is first and foremost to establish a clear dividing line between school and non-school time. When a child puts on his or her school uniform, he or she becomes a student. They put on their 'work clothes' and become aware that they are entering a time that is no longer that of leisure.

The uniform thus offers a transition between private and school time. Therefore, the child spontaneously adopts the behaviour that the educational institution expects of him or her.

And this is, in the second place, the other function of the school uniform: to contribute to placing the pupils in a position of work, concentration and reflection. Surrounded by their peers, children feel they belong to a group. They share a serene and diligent work space, which is conducive to the development of knowledge and skills.

Wearing regulationclothing is therefore also, and this will be our third point, a factor of integration. The dress code established by the school provides a sense of belonging to the other pupils and to the school. The children form a community and feel on an equal footing. This leads to greater openness to others, solidarity and cohesion.

Schools that impose a set dress code usually win over students, families and teachers very quickly. Why?

It is a fact: pupils like to share a common dress code, in the colours of their school. Firstly, because it gives them a sense of belonging and even a certain pride! Secondly, because it frees them from the weight of appearance, of appearances.

No more comparisons of clothes or even jealousy. Social differences are erased. Everyone is dressed the same and treated the same.

What about teachers and school heads? For them, the regulation dress does not only contribute to convey a nice image of their institution. It is above all a pedagogical tool in the service of the school's educational project. Thanks to it, pupils are more concentrated and the working climate is calmer. Moreover, improvements can even be seen in performance.

Parents, for their part, request school uniforms mainly for their practicality. For example, the uniforms made by Uniforme Prestige are comfortable, durable, easy to care for and, in the end, inexpensive, as they pay for themselves in the long run.

Uniforme Prestige specialises in the design and sale of school uniforms.
Created in 1989 by Monique Garcin, Uniforme Prestige is a family business based in France. Initially, it was dedicated to the design, manufacture and distribution of professional uniforms.

Then, in 2012, Frédéric Garcin, the son of the founder, launched Uniforme Prestige School. The aim? To assist schools in the implementation of regulatory uniforms.

With its 30 years of experience, Uniforme Prestige designs your school wardrobe for you and with you. This is aimed at all your pupils, from nursery school to high school, via primary and secondary schools.

With Uniforme Prestige, creating a regulation outfit is very simple and secure. Everything is done in close partnership with each school, from design to delivery. We do not have a shop or a collection, as we only make outfits on demand.

Our role is to help you define your dress code, to refine your choices: uniform or optional outfit, complete or partial wardrobe; to determine a style that is faithful to your school's values.

Uniforme Prestige stands out for the quality and design of its outfits.
To achieve this, we select strong, easy-care fabrics that are made in Europe. We are also committed to making clothes that are environmentally friendly and sustainable. We prefer natural materials. In addition, our suppliers are OEKO-TEX certified, a label that guarantees you a garment that is not harmful to your health.

Another of our priorities is to offer students clothes that they like. You can therefore choose to remain rather classic: dark trousers, light-coloured shirt, supplemented by a jacket in cold weather... Or opt for a more colourful uniform, with a cut closer to the tastes of the pupils. Students can be asked to give their opinion. A 16 year old student, for example, is unlikely to appreciate having to wear a pleated skirt...

Then, depending on your wishes and the budget determined, our stylists will submit designs that are likely to embody the identity of your school. They can create school uniforms for girls, boys, sportswear and accessories.
