Year of use for uniform shed

Monday 24 June 2024 3.28pm

Innovative uniform swapping shed at Bosbury Primary supports the environment and families.

In the summer of 2023, Friends of Bosbury School (FOBS) introduced a second-hand uniform swap in a secure, self-service shed positioned within the grounds of the school. Operating on a self-service basis families can drop off donations of second-hand uniforms in good condition and take any items they need. The shed is accessible to all parents and carers of students that attend the school and is secured with a simple 4 code padlock.

This initiative not only ensures that all students have access to affordable school uniforms in a private setting but also reduces waste.

FOBS spearheaded the project, raising funds to purchase and install the uniform shed, which cost £540. The shed was installed during the summer break, ensuring it was ready for use at the start of the new school year and has been a great success since.
