GRAND OPENING!
Parking will be available in the walled car park opposite the Chapel.
📍 How to find us:
Enter the School from Erleigh Road, turn left immediately and walk past the Music School. The Uniform Shop is clearly labelled and located in the next building on your left.
👔 Come and browse!
Our new shop is packed with good-quality pre-loved uniform and other school essentials, as well as dozens of study guides and books covering a wide range of subjects.
💷 Cash payments are preferred, where possible, to help us avoid card transaction fees.
☕ Make a morning of it on Saturday!
Tea, coffee, cold drinks, cakes, cookies and other refreshments will be available to purchase.
Please also come and say hello to the RSPA team and our Shop Managers, Jas & Anya, who have worked incredibly hard to get our new shop ready. Some of our committee members will also be there, so if you’re interested in volunteering or getting involved with RSPA in any way, we’d love to have a chat.
❤️ Every purchase makes a difference.
All proceeds from the Uniform Shop and refreshments go directly towards supporting our boys and our school.
Come along, grab a bargain, enjoy some refreshments and support RSPA!
We look forward to welcoming you to our new home! 🎉
Run entirely by dedicated RSPA volunteers, the shop offers a wide range of good-quality pre-loved school uniforms at affordable prices. Items include trousers, grey blazers, shirts, jumpers, PE and Games kits, rugby boots, trainers, base layers, cricket whites, lab coats, plimsolls, and much more for students from Year 7 to Year 11. A small selection of revision guides and textbooks for KS3, GCSE, and A Level is also available.
The shop is stocked through generous donations from families, as well as unnamed lost property recovered from around the school. Every item is carefully checked for quality, washed, sorted, labelled, and prepared for resale.
Through this initiative, the RSPA proudly supports the wider school community by making quality pre-loved uniforms accessible and affordable for every family. With most items priced at a fraction of their original retail cost, the scheme not only helps reduce household expenses, but also encourages sustainability by giving school uniforms a second life.
The shop usually opens twice every half term, typically on the penultimate Friday and Saturday. The shop may also open during selected school events, where appropriate, to provide additional convenience and support to the wider parent community. Upcoming opening dates are published on our Events page.
Opening times are also shared through the Headmaster’s Weekly Bulletin, RSPA-managed WhatsApp and Facebook groups, and on Classlist — the messaging platform for families who have joined the RSPA.
In addition to supporting families, the Pre-Loved Uniform Shop also helps raise valuable funds for student initiatives and projects at the school.
Volunteers are always welcome. If you would like to help on any of the shop opening days and wish to be added to our volunteer list, please get in touch with us at: shop@readingschoolparents.co.uk.
