Our Pre-Loved Uniform Shop

The pre-loved uniform shop is at the back of the walled car park, in the Dovecote building, opposite the School Chapel.

Run entirely by RSPA volunteers, the shop is stocked with decent quality, pre-loved uniforms; it has plenty of trousers, grey blazers, shirts, and jumpers, all at low prices. It also sells pre-loved PE and Games kits, rugby boots, trainers, base layers, cricket whites, lab coats, plimsolls, and nearly everything you need for students from Y7 to Y11. Additionally, there is a small stock of revision guides and textbooks for KS3, GCSE, and A Level.

The shop is stocked with both donated items and items rescued from the large amount of unnamed lost property found around the school. All these items are carefully checked for quality and washed before being sorted, labeled, and put for sale in the shop.

As a result, the RSPA helps support the wider Reading School family by providing a wide choice of pre-loved uniforms at a fraction of the cost of purchasing new ones. Most items cost less than a third of the original retail price.

The shop has two openings every half term, usually on the penultimate Friday and Saturday.

Details of the opening times are posted in the Headmasters Bulletin, in the RSPA-managed WhatsApp and Facebook groups, and on Classlist (a messaging service for families who have joined the RSPA).

The Pre-Loved Uniform Shop thus helps raise money to support the students at Reading School.

Helpers are always needed! If you would like to volunteer on any of these open days and would love to be added to our list of volunteers, do contact us at shop@readingschoolparents.co.uk.
