The Direct Clothing Company runs the Uniform Shop at Glenalmond College. This is located behind the Chapel and is best approached from Back Avenue.

Telephone number 01738 880438 email: uniform@glenalmondcollege.co.uk

The shop will be open during term time on Tuesdays & Thursdays (1.30pm – 3.30pm) and will be run by Mrs Kate Dove and Mrs Margaret Whitten.

Please click on the following links to access order forms and price lists: Girls/ Boys

The shop will also be open from Wednesday 23rd June until Tuesday 6th July (Monday to Friday) from 9.00am to 5.00pm for new pupil appointments. The shop will then be closed from 7th July. It will be open on Tuesday 24th August and on Monday 30th August through to Friday 10th September (Monday to Friday) from 9.00am to 5.00pm, after which it will revert to term-time opening hours. In addition the shop will open on the afternoon of Parents' Meetings from 2 – 4pm.

The school uniform and sportswear will be stocked in the shop and items of good quality, second hand uniform may become available. At the moment however, the stock of second hand uniform is low following fire damage last summer. Parents are encouraged to hand in second hand uniform that is in good condition and has been cleaned, during normal shop opening times. It is hoped that additional items such as footwear, sports equipment and toiletries will be stocked in the future.

The uniform and price lists will be available on the school website so parents can complete an order and return it with their son or daughter, along with payment by cheque. When pupils need to purchase items from the shop unexpectedly during term time their Housemaster or Housemistress will give them a permission form and the pupil will be asked to sign a receipt whilst in the shop.Parents will then be invoiced by The Direct Clothing Company. Parents will also be able to place an order by telephoning the shop during opening hours. Please note that messages are only checked during opening times.

Payment can be made by cash, cheque (payable to Direct Clothing Company) or in person/over the telephone by credit card. Charges for uniform items from the school shop cannot be put on the school bill. It would be very much appreciated if parents did not contact the school office with uniform orders or queries.

NEW PUPILS

For new uniform fittings, please contact the shop to arrange an individual appointment which will take approximately 45 minutes. Payment must be made at the time of the appointment – either by cash, cheque or credit card.
