 New For You

During term time please contact Mrs Ball on Reception, for enquiries about new for you uniform. This is kept in The Warriner Learning Centre; the reception will make an appointment for you to go and take a look.

We welcome donations of good quality second hand uniform (donated skirts should be the pleated style only) and these can be dropped off at Reception. Please wash items before donating. Any monies received from new for you uniform items are used to support current fundraising projects.

All items are 50p or £1, with blazers at £5. We accept cash or cheques.

We have a particular abundance of boys shirts and trousers - all good brands - so do please think of purchasing these from us too rather than from high street stores. Whilst we introduced a new logo in 2019 we are still happy for students to wear items with the old logo if there is life in the clothes!

Come and grab a bargain! #secondhanduniform #preloved #sustainability
