THE SCHOOL AND DANCE SHOP

The School and Dance shop is family owned and run. I took over the business in 2018, after the previous owners retired. I currently offer school uniforms for 2 high schools and 14 primary schools across Knaresborough and surrounding village schools. Additionally, I supply dance wear for local dance schools: leotards, ballet shoes, jazz shoes, character shoes and dance underwear and hosiery.

As a mum to 3 children, I recognise the importance of hardwearing and long lasting uniform and I can say with hand on heart the uniform I sell will be outgrown before it wears out. In todays climate that is something to be proud of. All my customers are offered a personal service and uniform is tried on in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Did you know I also run a savings club all year round that is helpful to many families when budgeting and 10% off King James’s year 7 new starter uniform in June. Appointments are offered and a full 30 minute fitting takes place, giving advice and tips especially for the primary transition to high school children. Appointments outside of normal hours are offered for children that need extra time, a quiet environment or for the shop to be closed. These are usually for primary children starting reception or starting high school.

Knaresborough is a wonderful place to live and raise a family. There are so many things to see, the castle, the riverside, Bebra Gardens not forgetting the planned entertainment activities; Christmas Market, Party in the Park, Easter fair, Knaresborough Bed Race, the list goes on. Why would you want to live anywhere else?
