Uniform Shop
Following the successful re-location of the School Office, our Uniform Shop has also moved up to the main school building in order to make it more accessible. Alongside our full range of new uniform, we sell second-hand Chapel Suits and all branded sports kit. We no longer sell second-hand day-to-day wear. We have found that increasingly few parents purchase the second-hand shirts, trousers, skirts etc as they can be bought so easily online or in store for similar prices. We have been finding ourselves collecting large quantities of rather tatty old clothes and much of what we receive has not been in a fit state to be resold.
Having made this decision, we will be holding a table-top sale to dispose of our existing stock of non-branded school uniform. This will take place from 12 noon on Friday 25th March and we would invite parents to visit the Ashton Hall, select any items they would like and leave a donation of their choice. Any donations received will be split equally between our two chosen charities, SARA and UNHCR. Any items that are not taken will be given to charity.
Looking ahead, we plan to discuss the provision of a regular “swap shop” or “sale” to be overseen by parent volunteers. If this is something that parents would appreciate and would be happy to help organise then we will provide a space for clothes to be sold and an area (separate from the shop) for items to be stored.
If you have any questions about uniform or the School Shop then please contact Fiona on office@abberleyhall.co.uk
