The Green School Shop

About Us

‹Return to Previous Page

Our Company

Welcome to The Green School Shop online uniform store. We first opened as a second-hand uniform shop in 2015 in St Ives, Cambridgeshire and since then our commitment to making school uniform affordable, available and fit for purpose has led to us becoming the official stockist for a growing number of schools. From our recycling roots we work hard to maintain an ethical and environmental focus across our business. If you can’t find what you need in our online store, we’d love to see you in our St Ives shop. Here you will find a wider range of products (both new and ‘new to you’) and our personal fitting service.

Meet the Team

Founder, Owner and Font of all Knowledge.

SUSAN

What this lady doesn’t know about the School Uniform world isn’t worth knowing.

Master at making customers feel welcome and that they’ve known her for years.  Inspirer, motivator, empowerer, visionary and rather mischievously a biscuit or cake enabler.

Susan opened The Green School shop in Cromwell Mews in Aug 2015 – following a career in the corporate world and more recently as a teacher – the dream of starting her own business to combine the two became reality.  Initially funded by her private tuition income, the business has gone from strength to strength and now occupies unique town-centre premises.

Exciting times ahead.

Likes

Food in general (except goat’s cheese!), baking cakes, walking her dog, music, quizzes and conquering the World.

Dislikes

Moths and things that flutter!

What do you like most about your job?

“Private fitting appointments – especially when the young person is taking their first (or next!) big step on their education journey. It is so important that children feel comfortable in themselves to be able to be the best that they can be.”

The Brains and Head of Paperclips

NICKY

Nicky is our database/behind the scenes spreadsheet guru/wizard and is able to whip up a template before you have chance to say “Can you just…?”

Nicky has 3 children at secondary school and is therefore our expert in what’s what with the young uns!!!

Previously a forensic scientist, don’t get on the wrong side of her or she can frame you for a heinous crime!!!

Type of ECO Warrior

Waste hater. Re-use, re-use re-use!

Likes

Sausage rolls, but not the sausage roll song, her beautiful dogs and going on long walks with said dogs.

Dislikes

Things that “scutter” especially spiders (cue bodily shudder and uuuurgh noise!)

People that make a mess on her desk (Susan has taken note!!!) and waste of any sort.

What do you like most about your job?

“As a mum of a child with physical disabilities I am acutely aware of the need of every child to feel comfortable and confident in their school uniform, our private fitting appointments allow me to get to know customers and their individual needs.”

President of our “New to you” department and Social Media Virtuoso

JANINE

Janine is the longest standing team member but is definitely not the longest in stature! Always willing to go the extra mile to help customers and has been known to try on uniform for parents to help with sizing. With a background in Art, she is one creative lady.

Type of ECO Warrior

Plastic packaging hater

Likes

Adores musicals and can often be heard belting out a number or two. Pom Poms, the word yippeeeeeeeee, excessive and unnecessary vowel use when writing, and endless cups of tea but always with a biscuit.

Dislikes

Felt tip pens without lids on, mixed Playdoh colours and people that don’t say “thank you” when you hold a door open for them.

What do you like most about your job?

“Meeting people and talking with customers, especially when you end up discussing the similar behaviours of your children. That everyday is different. Working for an organisation that cares about the planet and does what it can to minimise our impact on the environment.”
