Community School Clothing Scheme

By J Ranson14th May 2021

DONATE ANY UNWANTED UNIFORM OR REQUEST ITEMS OF UNIFORM FREE OF CHARGE!

The Community School Clothing Scheme is a charity we work with which receives donations of uniform, including shoes, coats, sportswear, plain shirts and trousers. Additionally, any parent or carer struggling to kit their child out can go online and request logo and generic items of uniform free of charge!

If any students, parents and carers have any unwanted uniform, that they perhaps might have grown out of, it can be brought into school and we will pass this on. Year 11 students in particular might have unwanted uniform they could donate as they no longer require it.

You can find out more about the scheme HERE or via their Facebook page.
