A secondary school has saved local families £7,000 with its second-hand uniform shop.

Flegg High Ormiston Academy, in Martham, set up the shop in a mobile classroom over the summer to help ease financial pressures for families ahead of the new academic year.

Parents were encouraged to donate items that their child had grown out of or no longer needed, or to swap for bigger sizes.

With some items being sold for as little as 50p, the shop saved families £7,000 over the summer holiday.

Inside the shop, families were able to find every item of uniform, from shoes to PE kits and school bags, hung on the railings.

The money raised from the sale of uniform will be reinvested back into Flegg High students, through purchasing breakfast snacks and items of clothing which are needed in emergencies during the school day.

The school is part of the Ormiston Academies Trust and serves the areas of Martham, Hemsby, Ormesby, Caister, Filby, Winterton, Rollesby, and Somerton.
