School Uniform Swap
We recognise that school uniform can be expensive, especially in the current financial crisis. To support staff, we are pleased to announce the launch of the Staff Benefits School Uniform Swap! An online Facebook group, where staff can give away/ exchange or sell their children's old school uniforms to other staff members.
