Banner’s secondary collection combines value, comfort, and quality to help students focus on their most exciting and crucial stages of education.
Every garment in this lookbook is specifically selected to work together as a full uniform, perfect for secondary education. Whether a school is looking for casual uniform, or a collection that reflects a traditional suiting style, we have the range to match your needs.
As well as a complete range of uniform solutions, our sportswear collections such as APTUS Essentials, Performance and Banner Sportswear are essential for building confidence during P.E. and extra-curricular team sports.
As the largest schoolwear supplier in the UK, and it is still growing. We supply schoolwear that meets every style and sustainability requirement whilst meeting your budget. From high-quality stock lines available for next-day delivery to the finest bespoke tailored garments, our brand has it all.
Since our journey began, we’ve had a clear vision. We want every garment we produce to have a positive impact on our planet, the people we work with and the students who wear our products every day.
Our sustainability journey began in 2019 when we embraced our responsibility to do the right thing for our planet and future generations. We decided to transform our approach to sustainability and put these challenges at the heart of our business, starting with our products.
Our commitment to doing the right thing for the planet and our people is best demonstrated in our B Corp journey. Holding B Corp certification tells the world that we meet high standards of social and environmental performance, whilst also remaining committed to continuously improving our impact. As we grow, we care even more about the wonderful planet we all share and the people and communities we work with who need our support.
We believe schoolwear has the power to make a difference to people’s lives.
Our ‘head to toe’ in Eco schoolwear ranges provide children with an equal opportunity to develop, perform and feel confident in the knowledge that the uniforms they are wearing have been made with less harm to the environment, the workers who made them are treated fairly and are paid a living wage within their country of origin.
We take a holistic approach and set out to develop and deliver what we regard as the most holistic sustainability strategy in the schoolwear sector focussing on meeting the needs of our planet and people across 6 sustainability pillars.
We ensure the overseas supplier factories producing our brochure stock are all Sedex members and audited to ensure compliance with Sedex 4 Pillar / SMETA Audits, which include extended business ethics and environmental measures.
The 6 pillars form the basis of our sustainability strategy, each with its own objective, measures and senior management champions. The framework closely aligns with the five B Corp Impact areas (Governance, Workers, Environment, Community and Customers) and ensures every part of our business is engaged in the journey. Each pillar has led us on a journey of continuous improvement in terms of environmental and social impacts.
We’re focused on reducing our environmental footprint and maintaining our carbon-neutral status. We’re also working with our supplier factories to reduce water consumption, waste and conserve energy.
We design and source the best products sustainably and have launched a full range of innovative eco-products made from recycled polyester and biodegradable viscose.
We’re giving back to local community projects and charities with fundraising and our Gift of Time volunteering programme for employees.
We are also proud to launch our own charity - Banner Foundation. Inspiring projects that support children from all backgrounds to thrive and prosper. Visit bannerfoundation.org.uk for more information.
We actively engage with our customers to get their views on eco issues, as well as record and act on their feedback to shape our future strategy and green initiatives. We’re also supporting their sustainability journey and delivering a faultless service.
We ensure our employees’ voices are heard through an annual engagement survey and “pulse” surveys to ensure they feel “safe, supported and understood” and through a structured programme of well-being, mental health support and engagement activities.
Banner Ltd became a certified B Corporation in December 2023.
B Corp is the ‘gold standard’ for businesses to aspire to, measuring social and environmental impact.
We’re proud to have achieved B Corp certification. We have now joined a growing number of companies worldwide that are committed to using business as a force for good among workers, suppliers, their community, and the environment.
On a local level, we’ve also joined the Bristol and Bath B Local Group, where we look forward to learning from and collaborating with other B Corp businesses in our area.
To certify, you must achieve a minimum score of 80 across 5 impact areas as shown on the graphic. Every point and every fraction of a point is hard to achieve.
We are only at the beginning of this exciting journey and intend to grow in our role, creating a more sustainable and fairer future for all. We are already working towards even higher standards of performance, accountability and transparency in supply chain practices, sustainable materials, employee benefits and charitable giving. Meaning we will try to do even better over the next 2 years ready to recertify in December 2026.
We’re confident we’ve developed the most sustainable and ethical supply chain in our industry, backed up by strong independent accreditations. Since 2006, we’ve been a member of Sedex (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange), one of the world’s leading ethical trade service providers, as part of our commitment to improving the working conditions in global supply chains.
The environment and low carbon principles are a huge focus of our sustainability strategy. And while we’ve achieved a lot so far, we intend to go bigger, better and bolder with our environmental commitments, investing in projects that reduce our emissions and reduce or eliminate any detrimental impact on biodiversity.
Our work so far has resulted in us becoming the first UK schoolwear supplier to set Sedex 4-Pillar as the minimum audit standard for all our suppliers to comply with. This means all our suppliers are independently assessed to the highest requirements in crucial areas such as fair pay, labour standards, health & safety, business ethics and environmental impact.

We’re continually working to improve all aspects of our environmental and social responsibility, minimising the impacts of our operations on the planet, while at the same time optimising the benefits of what we do for our people and the people we work with. It’s why we’re recognised as the schoolwear supplier that’s leading the way in sustainability.

The APTUS Sports Bra has been designed to support and protect girls’ bodies during school sports. It is the first sustainable, fully reversible sports bra that has been developed specifically for the educational market.
As a sportswear supplier, we’re passionate about designing and creating sportswear that helps students to feel body confident and encourages involvement in physical activity, inside and outside of school.
As part of this passion, we have a goal to boost female confidence and participation in school sports. This is what sparked the inspiration to design the APTUS Sports Bra.
Research shows 40% of female students at secondary school are selfconscious about their bodies and as a result, do not want to take part in PE and extracurricular sporting activities.
In addition to the many health, support and confidence benefits of the new APTUS Sports Bra, the design is also environmentally sustainable and 100% of the Polyester used within the bra is recycled. That means with the production of each sports bra we save 1.5 plastic bottles from either landfill or the ocean – how great is that?! What’s more, the packaging is eco-friendly too!
Designed to accommodate all sporting activities at school, the Banner sportswear range offers classic and modern garments, all sharing the same robust and versatile style.
