Second-hand Uniform |
The second hand uniform shop is located on the school premises behind Finlay boarding house and is run on a voluntary basis through the PTA. It is usually open on the first Friday of every month, but a list of opening dates and times is shown below. The seller receives 50% of the price and the PTA receives the remaining 50%. We will obviously accept all new style uniform and will continue to accept lacrosse sticks, sports bags, purse belts etc. Caroline Boyle (parent) is in charge of the shop and can be contacted via email. |
Handing in Items |
Clothes can be handed in when the shop is open. Unless brand new, we cannot sell swimming costumes, leotards, tights and socks (other than lacrosse socks). Please ensure that the clothes are CLEAN and in GOOD CONDITION.

Volunteers |
The shop is run entirely on voluntary basis through the PTA and there is a good crowd of great volunteers. However, we are always looking for new volunteers. Helping in the shop is a good way of meeting other parents and takes very little of your time – usually only an hour any time you help! Please contact Caroline Boyle if you would like to volunteer to help. |
