New and Existing Pupils Please telephone or e-mail to make an appointment to purchase school uniform as soon as possible (see School Shop information document). This applies to all new and existing pupils.

After the summer half term, the shop operates a series of appointments designed to avoid the last minute rush for uniform. Each pupil will receive dedicated time to purchase everything they need. Appointments are either an hour or an hour and a half long depending on whether the child is an existing or new pupil. Payment for uniform should be by cash or credit card on the day of purchase.

For September 2019, appointments are available from 1-3 July, 8-12 July and from 19 August until the start of term. When fitting a child we allow for growth but are happy to exchange items assuming it has not been named and is returned in the same condition it was purchased.

Nearly New Terms and Conditions The Nearly New Shop offers a service to those parents who would welcome the opportunity to purchase school uniform at reduced prices and to those parents seeking to sell school uniform no longer required.

Items purchased from the Nearly New area will not be considered for returns or refunds.

Prior to processing, all garments will be inspected by our staff and we reserve the right to refuse items. We would therefore request that items are not mailed and are brought to the shop during opening hours. Items found not suitable will be given to Charity unless parents request return.

Maximum stock quantities will be set for all items. No further items will be accepted beyond these levels until stocks have reduced.

Nearly New items will be offered for sale at least 50% of the current retail price (depending on the condition of items). Items are deposited on the understanding that 50% of the agreed selling price will go to the vendor and 50% to Millfield.

Items will be held for one term plus one holiday. Unsold items need to be collected by the beginning of the following term. Uncollected items will be donated to charity.

Millfield Prep School will be unable to accept responsibility for the condition of goods sold.
