Parents roll up their sleeves for Radwear

By Megan Fritsch, Director of Sport

Thank you to parents who donated their children’s second-hand uniforms to the shop during the Christmas and New Year holidays. There was a considerable number of bags of clothing donated and the condition of the clothing was excellent. It was evident that parents had diligently gone through their items, with some even getting the blazers dry cleaned before donating them.

We are proud to offer second-hand uniforms to Radford students at Radwear, an initiative of the P&F, and we can do so to the highest standard with parents like these going above and beyond.

How to donate clothes

All items for donation are to be washed, in good condition (no holes or perspiration stains) and placed in a paper/plastic bag.

Donations for the second-hand uniform shop can be dropped to the Main Reception in the Morison Centre between:

  • 8:00 am–5:00 pm during term time
  • 9:00 am–4:00 pm in the school holidays

The most sought-after clothing items at present are girls' dresses.

Worn up

As an addition to Radford’s other sustainability measures, the College is partnering with Worn Up’, a textile recycling company that aims to keep recyclable textiles out of landfill.

A recycle pod is located in Radwear – the sport and second-hand uniform shop.
