Second-Hand Uniform 

We hold our Second-hand Uniform Sale every Monday, after school from 3.15pm to 4.15pm, to allow Parents and Carers to purchase items.  Please go to Main Reception and you will be directed to the sale.

Many families purchase second-hand uniform either as ‘spares’ or to replace items that have been outgrown.

Payment for items will be made via your ParentPay account at the point of purchase. We will have Chromebooks available to help you gain access to ParentPay, if required.

The PSA Second-hand Uniform Shop is able to run due to the generous donations from our families. If you have any surplus uniform, we will gladly accept this. Please bring uniform donations to Main Reception. Please note that we are no longer able to accept books or electronic items, as we are unable to recycle these. 

For further information, please contact GLYNMAIL@glynschool.org
