News from the Second Hand Uniform Shop

Location
The Second Hand Uniform Shop is conveniently located on the Senior School Campus in the building behind the Winter Garden – accessible through the rear door of the Winter Garden or through the pedestrian gate on Heyington Place between Gates 3 and 4.

Opening Hours
During term time, the Second Hand Uniform Shop is open every Wednesday from 1.00pm-4.30pm. Extra opening days and times are advertised in The Blue Ribbon and mystcatherines mobile app.

Donations and Consignments
The Second Hand Uniform Shop is always busy and donations of all uniform items are most welcome. If you have any uniforms your children have outgrown, it would be greatly appreciated if you would please consider donating or consigning them for resale to the uniform shop.

We also gladly accept items such as school bags, sports bags, sun hats, sports and swim caps, and school socks. Items considered in disrepair and therefore, not fit for sale, are also gladly accepted as we recycle zips, buttons, cords and fabric for mending purposes.

A reminder, parents can sell blazers, braided blazers, spray jackets, crested 2XU leggings and interschool gymnastics ‘display’ leotards on consignment, with 50% of the sale price paid back to parents at the end of each term in the form of direct credit into a nominated bank account. All items submitted for sale on consignment must be clean and in good condition. Please print a Second Hand Consignment Form, complete the details and attach to your items, if you wish to consign them for sale. Donation items included in the same package do not need to be listed.

Donations and consignments can be dropped off at the uniform shop on Wednesdays between 1.00pm-4.30pm during school term or Senior and Junior School Reception, at any time.
