Uniform

Maple PTA exclusively sells Maple’s logo jumpers, polo shirts, PE kit and a selection of outdoor wear. All money raised from new and second-hand uniform sales goes straight to the Maple PTA.

New Uniform

Orders can be placed via the following online system at any time.

https://www.pta-events.co.uk/maple-school/

We place a monthly order with the supplier on the 15th of each month and delivery is typically 10 working days later. During the busy summer period (June-September) delivery times are extended and can take up to 20 working days.

Orders will be distributed via the classrooms and you will be notified by email when this happens.

Returns/Exchanges

Items can be returned for a refund or exchanged for an alternative size as long as they are unworn, unmarked and have all labels attached. Please contact us for returns/exchanges within 14 days of receipt of your order.

Questions

If you have questions or for any reason you are not able to order online then please contact the uniform team at: ptauniform@maple.herts.sch.uk

Second Hand Uniform

A second-hand uniform shop runs regularly throughout the year. Any outgrown uniform that is still in good condition can be donated to the second-hand uniform shop via the school office. Keep an eye on Monday messages for dates!

Remember

We recommend you read the Maple School Uniform policy for full guidance: https://maple.herts.sch.uk/download/school-uniform/
