Second-hand Uniform Sales 2008

1. The Service
Regular second-hand uniform sales are held at MHS, and considerable savings can be made using this facility. Dates and times of the sales are displayed around the school buildings and can also be obtained from the Office.

The sale dates for Summer Term are as follows:

Friday 7th November 1500 - 1600
Monday 1st December 1500 - 1600

MAIN SALE
Monday 17th November 1330 - 1630

The uniform room is situated on the 1st floor of the Junior School. Space is limited but on Parents’ Evening a larger sale takes place in this and other rooms on the 1st floor. Parents who wish to buy uniform and who cannot attend the sales due to work may also make an appointment outside sale hours or during the holidays. This is often easier if large quantities of uniform are required for new pupils or more than one child. Contact the Office to make an appointment. Payment may be made by cash or cheque payable to ‘Mayville High School’.

2. Selling Uniform
Uniform for the sale can be brought into the Office or Junior School at any time. It must be clean and in good condition, folded or placed on hangers. (Items which are easily obtainable cheaply outside school, such as boys’ white shirts, should not be brought in unless in excellent condition, as they are unlikely to sell.)
Please do not send in uniform in black refuse sacks as it is easily confused with genuine refuse and may be thrown out!
Please label your item/s clearly, securing the label with a safety pin (not Sellotape, paperclips or Post-It notes – these all fall off!) Your label/s should contain the following information: Parent name, phone number, name of item, size and price being asked (unless you are happy for us to price the item for you). If sending in a number of items please label each individually but also send in a list, keeping a copy for yourself.
As large stocks of uniform are now held it may be some time before items are sold.

NB if you wish to donate the item of uniform to the sale, allowing Mayville to keep the entire selling price, or your item is priced at £4 or over, please read Section 4 below.

3. Receiving Your Payment
A record is kept of all sales, and payment (less 25% which goes to PTA funds for the benefit of the school) made once a term by cheque or cash, depending on the amount due. Your labels will also be returned to you.

4. New for 2008! Gift Aid and the Uniform Sale – let the Taxman contribute to school funds!
If you are donating your item of uniform to be sold in aid of the school, or asking a price of £10 or over, please consider completing a Gift Aid Form below (further copies available from the Office, at the uniform sales). This enables the school to claim a further 28p from HM Revenue for every pound raised – it doesn’t seem much, but it stacks up pretty quickly, and at no extra cost to you (you do have to be a UK taxpayer to participate, however).
