About Kingsgate Schoolwear

Kingsgate Schoolwear supplies branded uniform to a number of north Kent schools from a shop in Dartford and through an online store for each school it works with.

The second-hand range is the part parents tend to mention. Good-condition returned items are cleaned, checked and resold at a fraction of the new price, with proceeds shared with the school's PTA.

Fitting days run at partner schools during July and August so families can be measured properly rather than guessing sizes online.

Questions parents ask

Do we have to buy branded uniform?

Schools are required to keep branded items to a minimum and to make sure uniform is affordable. Check your school's uniform policy: most branded requirements are now limited to a small number of items.

When should we buy for September?

July if you can. August fitting days get very busy and the most common sizes sell through first. Buying with a little growing room is sensible for blazers and jumpers.

How does the second-hand range work?

Families donate outgrown items, we clean and check them, and they go back on sale at a fraction of the new price. A share of the proceeds goes to the school's PTA.
