Sun Safe Hats

Our Legionnaires hats can be ordered in Red, Navy Blue, Royal Blue, Bottle Green or Burgundy via our retail partner Your School Uniform.com. They come in one size that will fit pupils from reception through to class 6.The cost of the hats are just £3 each, saving you £1.50 per hat based on the usual retail prices.

Initially you will need to place a bulk order for all the pupils in your school, plus some spares. In the following year, you will only have to budget to provide hats for your new intake.

Sun Cream

Our Sunscreen is SPF 50 with broad spectrum UVA protection. It is supplied in 1 litre pump dispensers, for ease of application and transport.

We estimate that the cost is £2 per child per year.
