Recycled Uniform Shop

Our Recycled Uniform Shop is situated in our Reception for parents and carers to have a browse at any time. Support to purchase uniform is available between 9.00am and 2.00pm on school days. You can drop off donations at any time.

Before you visit, you can find out if we have what you need by emailing your requirements to: lola.henry@bulwellacademy.org.uk

How does it work?

Bring along an item to swap for free!

If you have a blazer that no longer fits, come and see if we have the next size up, and swap for free! Swap like-for-like items for free.

Buy items at low cost using Arbor Pay

If you don’t have an item to swap, you can purchase our recycled uniform on Arbor at a fraction of the cost of new items. The items will be added to the Arbor School Shop for you to purchase once you have chosen your items.

The cost of our recycled items are as follows:

Blazer £10 (or £20 for nearly new)
Academy Jumper (black v-neck with red trim) £5
Trousers and skirts £2
Shirts £1
Academy short-sleeve PE top £4
Academy long-sleeve PE top £6
PE Shorts / bottoms / leggings £2

Bulwell needs your unwanted uniform!

If you have uniform that you no longer need, we would be really grateful if you could pop it into Reception. Please make sure that it is in good clean condition.

Due to the success of our recycled uniform shop, we are always desperate for blazers. We would really appreciate your help! Don’t worry if blazers have buttons missing, we will sew on replacements.

Any items you can donate will be really appreciated, whether it is blazers, shirts, trousers, skirts, shoes, trainers or PE kit. We also welcome coats and bags, which are then offered to families free of charge.

Thank you for your support.
