Mum discovers secret feature on MS school trousers for when kids grow too tall

Now that the summer holidays are over, it's time for parents to get everything in order for the autumn term. On the to-do list - besides prepping their lunches and convincing them to wear the sturdy thick-soled leather shoes you bought them - is shopping for their school uniform - which you know you'll have to do in another six months time when they've had a growth spurt and shot up three inches.

But not anymore as a woman discovered a pair of M&S school trousers has a secret second hem. This handy feature means that the trousers can be extended by 3cm - so you can get more bang for your buck.

According to the M&S website, grow-proof hems add an extra 3cm onto the length of the trousers to help them "last all year".
