Second-hand Uniform/Equipment
We thought very carefully about which school we should choose for our two sons and were keen to make sure that their very individual needs were met. I can with all honesty say that we were extremely happy with the all round education offered to each of our sons.
Mrs Linda Sammons
Barney Friends Second Hand Uniform Shop.
The second hand uniform facility was set up at prep school in 2006 to provide the opportunity for parents to buy good quality outgrown uniform or unclaimed lost property at discounted prices for their children who are either starting at school or just constantly growing. Now we have been found a permanent home within the school grounds and in late August this year we hope to open. Keep an eye on the website for more information.
If you wish to sell any uniform, please bring the items into the shop during opening hours or leave them at the office in either school. Items must be current uniform and should be laundered / dry cleaned and labelled with the sellers contact details. We do not clean or repair clothes but do keep some spare buttons. Articles remaining unsold after 18 months will be recycled and we use our discretion as to what will sell. Articles of clothing no longer regulation uniform will be removed from sale.
The uniform store will be located behind the music school and will open on Monday 8.45-9.45am, Fridays 3pm - 5pm and one Saturday per half term 12-1pm. For opening times during school holidays please check the school website .The shop is run on a voluntary basis by parents but we will meet parents outside the opening hours wherever possible. Contact Julia Greaves on 07811231021 if required.
Clothes are sold at a fair price which is often a fraction of the cost new and whilst a percentage of the selling price is retained 70% is returned to the seller allowing you to recoup some of the initial expenditure. The remaining 30% will be divided between charity and purchases that will benefit the schools. You can of course donate your items where 100% of the sale price will be retained by the shop, please indicate this on your bag. Payments due will be made each term via your child
Payment can be made by cash or cheque but please note that unfortunately we are not able to offer any refunds.
Starting with the opening of the new shop we are going to trial a boot exchange. Simply bring in an old clean pair of rugby boots and for £2 you can take a pair from our stocks.
We cannot take the following items due to lack of space: grey trousers, shorts or white shirts.
