Second Hand Uniform

The Second Hand Uniform Sale is run by parents for parents and provides an opportunity to buy and sell outgrown and unwanted good quality uniform and sports kit. Last year we recycled 1,700 items of clothing across 14 sales and made over £11,000. Of this, £7,000 went back to parents and £4,000 went into PA funds.

Stock levels are dictated by what parents send in. 

What is Accepted for Sale?
All uniform should be CLEAN and reusable. Anything considered unfit for resale will automatically be sent to charity for recycling.

With the current transition from the light grey uniform to dark grey & green we are happy to accept all styles, both new and old. 

Who can Wear What?
The light grey uniform can still be worn until July 2013 by pupils already in the school as at July 2011. From September 2013 all pupils should be in the new style uniform.*
*(Girls in Year 9 and boys in Year 4 as at Sept 2011 can wear light grey to see out their time at the School, subject to availability.)

Please note that it is not acceptable to mix and match old and new style uniform.

All pupils who started in Reception, Year 3 or Year 7 from September 2011 onwards must be in the new style uniform and sports kit.

After July 2013 any old style uniform will be forwarded to charity for recycling with particular items being sent to a needy school in Africa/Asia. 

Submission Procedure
Each item of clothing should be clearly marked with an individual* label attached to the front showing:

Date, Child's Name, Child's Current Form Group, Contact details of Parent

Labels can be downloaded from the link on this webpage or collected from the reception areas of all three schools.

*Please note that any items not labelled in this way will be deemed as a donation to funds and will be labelled accordingly. If you require money back make sure you label each garment submitted.

Submission Form
A Submission Form must be completed. This provides details of where the proceeds should be sent and to whom a cheque should be made payable.

Venue

The sales take place in the Drama Room at the Junior Girls' School.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS NO PARKING ON SITE.
Time 8.00 am - 10.00 am

For security reasons you will be asked to sign in and provide the name and year group of your daughter/son.

Returning Money to Parents
A cheque for the proceeds of the sale of clothing will be forwarded directly to the parent whose details are on the submission form. This will occur once a term after both sales have been reconciled. Amounts less than £5.00 will be carried over until the next term and added to any further sales made, thus alleviating the need to write and cash cheques for small amounts.
