Socks

The official Blanchelande College sock has been chosen for comfort, quality and everyday College life.

Whether your child is in the Primary or Senior College School, these socks are made to look smart, feel comfortable and stand up to a busy day. Choose short or knee socks, in a range of child and adult shoe sizes.

The introduction of one approved Blanchelande College sock is about creating greater consistency across the uniform and strengthening our College identity.

To help make the change as easy as possible, the socks will launch with Michaelmas Term introductory pricing for orders placed before 21 September, including reduced 3-pair and 5-pair bundle options. This gives pupils the opportunity to have enough socks for the school week while benefiting from a lower price per pair during the introductory period.

A change from previous years

College socks are worn all year round, in both winter and summer uniform. White socks are no longer part of the College uniform.

Questions

Why are we introducing a Blanchelande College sock?

The introduction of one approved Blanchelande College sock is about creating greater consistency across the uniform and strengthening our College identity.

To help make the change as easy as possible, the socks will launch with Michaelmas Term introductory pricing available for orders placed before 21 September, including reduced 3-pair and 5-pair bundle options. This gives pupils the opportunity to have enough socks for the school week while benefiting from a lower price per pair during the introductory period.

My child has always worn white socks in the summer. Can they still?

No. From September 2026, College socks are worn all year round and white socks are no longer part of the everyday uniform. White sports socks are still worn for PE.

Does my daughter need socks if she wears tights?

Girls can wear either College socks or approved tights with skirts and dresses — red in Primary, grey in Senior. However, Senior students wearing the school skirt must wear grey tights from October half term until Easter.

My child is in Senior School. Should I choose an adult size?

Not necessarily. Sock sizes follow shoe size rather than year group. A Senior pupil with size 3 feet needs Child M, and a Primary pupil with size 5 feet needs Adult S. Check the shoe size, not the year.

How many pairs should I order?

That depends on how often you wash uniform. Three pairs covers a typical week; five gives you a full rotation with spares.

Can I mix sizes in one multipack?

No. Each multipack contains socks of the same style and size.

What if I order the wrong size?

Check the size guide before ordering. Exchanges follow the normal returns policy, provided the socks are unworn and in their original packaging.

Are these available from Fletcher Sports?

No. College socks are supplied directly through the Blanchelande store and are not available from Fletcher Sports or other uniform suppliers.

Why has the College introduced a specific sock?

Socks are a visible part of the uniform, and a consistent College sock gives it a smarter, more coordinated finish.
