Uniform Recycling Scheme 

Our school uniform recycling scheme offers a sustainable and supportive way for our community to thrive. We encourage parents and students to donate any used, good-condition uniform items that are no longer needed. These donations are then carefully sorted and made available to families within our school who may be facing financial hardship. This initiative not only promotes environmental responsibility by reducing textile waste, but also fosters a sense of community and ensures that all our students have access to the necessary uniform, regardless of their circumstances. To request school uniform items please contact vclayton@kempstonacademy.co.uk
