Dear Parent/Carer,
It is that time of year when many families will be starting to think about replenishing their school uniform in preparation for the new academic year. Our official uniform supplier remains the same as previous years, Michael Sehgal & Sons Ltd.
You can visit their store located at: Unit 17 Airport, Industrial Estate, Kingston Park, Newcastle, NE3 2EF (near Tesco). Alternatively you can order online at www.michaelsehgal.co.uk/jesmond-park-academy/. You can also contact them on 0191 2302320 or email at sales@michaelsehgal.co.uk.
I am writing to you about this year’s arrangements for those that prefer to use pre-owned uniform for environmental or economic reasons. We have also found that some children, particularly those with sensory issues find the pre-owned uniform beneficial.
Donations
You can donate any uniform that you no longer require at any time, simply bag up the items and drop them into student reception in person or via your child. Thank you in advance to all of those that are able to support this.
Requests for pre-owned uniform
You are able to request pre-owned uniform via an online request form on our school website.
https://vle.jpa.newcastle.sch.uk/pou Depending on availability, you can then collect these items from student reception or it can be given to your child directly to bring home. There is no cost for this service.
Pre-owned uniform event
On Wednesday 16th July we will be holding a pre-owned uniform event in school from 3pm – 5pm. Parents and children can attend together to collect any pieces that are available they may need. There is no cost for this service.
Last year we had a lovely evening meeting parents and students, more importantly we managed to reuse huge amounts of uniform that otherwise would have sat in cupboards or even ended up being thrown out.
I hope this new initiative is successful and useful to you.
Yours faithfully,
DAVE MERRIFIELD
HEAD OF SCHOOL
