Welcome to the John Cheatle Group

The John Cheatle Group is a substantial and well-established schoolwear and school sportswear supplier, providing more than 2500 primary and secondary schools around the UK with their myriad uniform requirements.  We are the UK’s largest schoolwear supplier to more than 300 independent schools, and for good reason.

Unlike other suppliers, we offer the full range of buying options for schools, from on-site dedicated school shops, to spacious High Street retail outlets, a highly efficient online service, and simple mail order options, too.  All our shops are staffed by experienced personnel, who will work flexibly to your requirements and who take full responsibility for school uniform and school sportswear stock levels, leaving you free to concentrate on other important administrative aspects of your school.

The supply of schoolwear – and school sportswear – requires highly accurate forecasting to prevent either a shortfall or a surplus of items at the end of a school year.  Our in-depth experience means that we are better at this than most, and we offer other benefits, too, such as a genuinely bespoke design service with a wide choice of garments and material options.  Our excellent relationships with our suppliers brings assurance to you that we are able easily to fulfil your requirements, and our local support service means we’re on the spot when you need us.  We’re also a friendly, family-run British business, too, established in 1937 and headed by the third-generation Cheatle, Justin!
