HUNDREDS of kids have been left without uniforms to start the school year because of M&S delivery delays.
Parents are angry that orders still have not turned up months after they paid for them.
Some are now having to find second-hand uniforms — with one mum unable to pay the bus fare for her son’s first day back after she had to fork out for another uniform while the M&S one was still on its way.
The school is paying for a taxi but Evelyn Dalton, 42, told The Sun: “It’s ridiculous.
“M&S should be ashamed of themselves.”
Kate Tuckwell, 43, of Bath, has a son and daughter starting new schools today.

She ordered uniforms from M&S in mid-July but received an email last week saying they had cancelled part of what she needed.
The school has now said pupils can have non-badged uniforms for the next year.
But Kate has still had to reorder elsewhere and borrow clothes from friends in the meantime.
M&S, which supplies personalised clothing for 300 schools, has been fulfilling each order individually this year rather than ordering in stock before they are placed.
It told The Sun “the majority of customers” had received their orders.
