Academic Year 2023/24 Summary

We are delighted to report the tremendous success of our Pre-Loved Uniform Initiative and share the summary report for the academic year of 2023/24.

Thanks to the generosity of our school community and the hard work of our volunteers, the initiative not only made a positive environmental impact but also raised vital funds for our school.

Key Achievements:

£3,220.00 Raised
Through the sale of pre-loved uniforms, we proudly contributed £3,220.00 to the Build a Better Wanstead High Fund. These funds will be instrumental in supporting much-needed school improvements, benefiting both current and future students.

368 Items Saved from Landfill
A total of 368 uniform pieces found new homes this year, helping families save money and reducing waste.  We now have proof, due to the name tag of its original owner still being faintly visible (which happens to be the son of pre-loved Lucy), of one blazer entering the preloved stock for its third wear!!  By reusing uniforms, we significantly cut down on landfill contributions, playing our part in creating a more sustainable future.

Supporting Families
The initiative has provided an affordable solution for parents, offering quality second-hand uniforms at a fraction of the cost. This effort helped families stretch their budgets while still ensuring their children were equipped with the appropriate school attire.

Looking Ahead
We are incredibly proud of what has been achieved in the last academic year, but this is just the beginning. We aim to build on this success in the coming year, increasing our impact on the environment and continuing to support our school community. Through summer pop up sales and on-line purchases, we have already raised £360.00 and rehomed 75 items of uniform.

Thank you to everyone who donated and purchased; you have all made a difference! Together, we are not only raising funds for a better Wanstead High but also helping to create a greener, more sustainable world.

Thanks for supporting the WHS PTA Pre-Loved Initiative.
