Free school uniforms

We're working with PECAN, our local community partner, to give families eligible for free school meals access to brand-new school uniform stock — completely free of charge.

 

Thanks to generous donations from major retailers, we have shirts, trousers, polo shirts, jumpers, shorts and skirts available to help ease the cost of getting children ready for school.

Please note: To help as many families as possible items are limited to two of each item per child, while stock last.

 

How to get school uniform

PECAN, our local community partner, is running drop-in sessions over two weeks in September at:

Ann Bernadt Centre
9 Chandler Way
London SE15 6DT

No appointment or referral required. Families can attend any session. On arrival, they'll be asked to sign an order sheet — this just helps us manage stock levels and make sure support goes where it's most needed.    

Families unable to attend can email the Ann Bernadt Family Hub at childrenscentre@ivydale.southwark.sch.uk. The team will send an order form and arrange uniform separately.
