Pre-loved School Uniform
To support our parents and carers during these challenging financial times, we offer a 'pre-loved' uniform service.
If you have any new or nearly new uniform which is in good condition but which may no longer fit your son but could be used by other students, we would be very grateful if you could help us help others by donating items to DGSB.
This could include blazers, ties, shoes, trousers etc. that are in a clean and serviceable condition. If you have any of these items that you wish to donate, please drop them into main reception (Monday to Friday during office hours) at DGSB washed and in a sealed bag with your name, and the type and size of clothing on a piece of paper stapled/attached to the bag.
These donated uniform items will then be made available to other students who may need them.
If you wish to enquire about the donated uniform, please email the school office at office@dgsb.co.uk, stating which items of uniform you are looking for and in what size.
