Preloved Prom Wear

Published on 25th March 2022

Dear parents/carers,

Our Year 11s are fast approaching the final few weeks of their time at Fernwood School. As a year group, there will be many opportunities to celebrate all that they have achieved throughout their time with us. One of the most important celebrations is the leavers’ prom which takes place in July.

We are all aware of the rising costs of living and the squeeze that many families will be feeling this year; therefore, we would like to ask for donations of pre-loved prom wear which we can loan to our young people for the night so that they are able to join in with the celebration in earnest.

If you have any of the following items that you could donate, please email k.robinson@fernwoodschool.org.uk with a short description or picture and size of the item:

Men’s shirts
Suits (jacket and trouser set)
Suit trousers
Men’s shoes
Dresses
Women’s shoes

Furthermore, if you know of or run a local business and would be able to gift any services (hair, make-up, transport), please contact Mrs Robinson.

If you are a parent/carer of a Year 11 student and you feel that your child would benefit from receiving a preloved item, please contact Mrs Robinson who will be able to discreetly organise this.

We will share a flyer on our social media channels and would be grateful if you were able to share this with your friends and family so that we can support as many students as possible. You can find us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/FernwoodSch) or on Twitter (@FernwoodSch).

Thank you so much for your support and generosity in advance,

Mrs Katie Robinson

Assistant Head of Year 11
