The Pilot

A local trial to test and refine the Back to School model

The pilot will involve one secondary school (Thetford Academy) and follow a simple process:

  • School promotes the project to pupils and parents

  • Donation days held at end of the summer term

  • Uniform sorted and prepared by volunteers

  • Items listed on a simple online shop to reserve

  • Families collect items at a “Back to School” event

What success looks like

A successful pilot will:

  • Support a significant number of families

  • Reduce uniform cost pressure at the start of term

  • Create a repeatable model for the school

  • Provide a template that can be adopted more widely

Future potential

If successful, this model could be repeated annually and adopted across other schools and Trusts.
