School Uniform

The Clothing Shop

The Clothing Shop stocks the full range of Guildford Grammar School uniform items (excluding shoes). Both new and quality second-hand clothing are available for purchase.

Payment can be made by cash, cheque, Bankcard, Mastercard, Visa or American Express. Boarding families have several convenient options for purchasing additional clothing throughout the year:

  • Credit card details can be securely stored in the Clothing Shop for ongoing purchases.
  • Orders can be placed via our online store, with items delivered directly to the Senior Boarding House.

Boarding Coordinators are happy to label your child’s clothing upon arrival using our FilterFab heat press. Please place items in a large bag and hand them to staff on arrival.
