What Does a School PE Kit Cost in the UK?
A transparent breakdown of what UK primary and secondary schools should expect to pay for branded PE kits — per-pupil pricing, bulk discounts and what's actually included.
The short answer
A branded school PE kit (polo + shorts + socks) typically costs £18–£32 per pupil when ordered in school-wide quantities. Tracksuits add £25–£45.
What drives the price
- Quantity — orders of 100+ pupils unlock significantly better per-unit pricing.
- Fabric — sublimated polyester is mid-range; embroidered cotton is premium.
- Number of garments — full PE pack (polo + shorts + tracksuit + socks) vs polo-only.
- Customisation — house colours, year groups, multiple sports.
A typical primary school spec
- House-coloured polo shirt with school crest
- Black or navy shorts
- Two-pack school socks
Indicative cost: £20–£24 per pupil for orders over 80.
A typical secondary school spec
- Sublimated PE polo (school colours)
- Reversible bib
- Skort or shorts options
- Full tracksuit
- Holdall
Indicative cost: £55–£85 per pupil as a full pack.
Hidden costs to ask about
- Sample garments for sizing days
- Replacement orders mid-year
- Year-group personalisation (initials, year)
- Embroidered vs sublimated crest
Why a single supplier is cheaper long-term
Schools that consolidate all sport apparel with one supplier (PE kit, fixture kit, training wear) typically save 12–18% versus splitting orders. Artwork only gets digitised once, fabric is consistent across years, and reorders are quicker.
