Costock C of E Primary School recycle old uniform to charity 

31/08/2025 by Digital Media

Following a consultation with pupils, parents, and staff, Costock C of E Primary School have been transitioning their uniform from royal blue sweatshirts and cardigans to navy and updating their logo to incorporate their core STAR ethos of ‘Where every child is a star’. 

As part of this transition the school explored opportunities to reuse, repurpose or recycle the old-style uniform, helping to reinforce their commitment to responsible practices. As a result, they have developed a relationship with the charity ‘Great Minds Bright Futures’ to ensure the old school uniforms can still be put to good use.  

The charity works closely with a school in Malawi to ensure all children there are given the best support possible for their education. The charity’s founder, Dave Armstrong, personally visited Costock Primary School to meet the pupils and tell them about the Chunzu school he supports. He explained the positive impact that their donation of uniform and classroom resources will have on the children in Malawi. 

The children at Costock were really excited and proud to be able to make a difference to the children in Malawi in their learning journey and intend to keep in touch via letters.
