Available in a spectrum of colours to complement school uniforms or match establishment colours, these sashes can be customised with embroidered school crests, years, and personal details. The durable, premium materials ensure they remain pristine throughout all celebration activities while serving as lasting mementos of academic achievement.

Graduation Accessories Through the Academic Year
In the UK education system, graduation and leavers' ceremonies typically occur at predictable times of the year:
- Nursery and Primary School: Leavers' ceremonies generally take place in late June or early July.
- Secondary School and Sixth Form: Events are typically scheduled after the completion of exams in June and July.
- Universities: Graduation ceremonies occur in cycles, with summer ceremonies in June-July and winter ceremonies in November-December.
Understanding these seasonal patterns, we carefully manage our production schedule to ensure availability during peak periods. For the best selection and customisation options, we recommend ordering well in advance of these busy seasons—particularly for personalised items or group orders.
Beyond Graduation Day
While our sashes and stoles are designed to enhance the graduation ceremony experience, their value extends far beyond the day itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a graduation sash and a stole?
A graduation sash is typically a strip of cloth worn over the shoulder or around the waist, more commonly used for informal school leavers' events, proms, and children's graduations. A stole is a long, scarf-like garment worn around the neck and hanging down the front. Stoles are wider and more formal than sashes and are predominantly associated with academic regalia for university graduations.
How do I choose the right size for my child's graduation sash?
Our nursery and primary school sashes are designed with adjustable features to fit children of various sizes comfortably. For secondary school students, we offer junior and standard sizes. Detailed measurements are provided on each product page to help you select the appropriate size.
Can I order graduation sashes for an entire class or year group?
Yes! We welcome group orders for schools and educational institutions. While we don't provide specific discount amounts upfront, we offer advantageous arrangements for bulk purchases. Please contact our customer service team for more information about our special services for group orders.
How far in advance should I order personalised graduation stoles?
For personalised items, we recommend ordering at least 4-6 weeks before the graduation ceremony, especially during peak seasons (May-July for most UK educational institutions). This allows sufficient time for customisation, quality checking, and delivery.
What personalisation options are available for university graduation stoles?
Our university stoles can be personalised with embroidered university crests, degree designations, honour classifications, and personal names or initials. All personalisation is done according to university guidelines where applicable.
How do I care for my graduation sash or stole after the ceremony?
To preserve your graduation accessory as a keepsake, we recommend dry cleaning for university stoles and gentle hand washing for nursery and school sashes. Detailed care instructions are included with each product and available on our website.
Do you ship internationally for UK students graduating abroad?
Yes, we offer international shipping to numerous countries. Delivery times vary by destination, with most European countries receiving shipments within 1-10 working days. For locations outside Europe, please contact our customer service team for shipping options and timeframes.
Can I return or exchange a personalised graduation sash?
Due to the customised nature of personalised items, they cannot be returned unless there is a manufacturing defect. Non-personalised items can be returned within 14 days if they remain in original condition with tags attached.
