THE RICHARD PATE SCHOOL, INDEPENDENT PREP SCHOOL, CHELTENHAM

The second-hand uniform shop is the place to kit out your child cheaply or sell things they have outgrown.

It is open from 3.15pm to 4pm in the music room on the first Monday of every month during term-time.

Clothes should be undamaged, unstained and freshly laundered. Sellers keep 50% of any money made with the rest going to the PTA. If items are donated, the PTA keeps 100% of the selling price.

The shop, which is run by volunteers, also sells new water bottles and lids.
