Ballakermeen sell school ties for £6.00 each (cheque or

paid for will be issued. Both ties and badges may be ordered online via ParentPay for those set up to use this facility. |
Apart from official school ties, sew-on badges for blazers, and replacement lanyards, Ballakermeen does not sell items of school uniform. There is however a Uniform Swap Shop, which runs at regular times during the school holidays and is available for you to come along and pick up some 'good as new' donated and washed uniform. The school's Facebook page is updated to show you when the next one is taking place, but if your need is urgent please contact Mr Mitchell via: BHSenquiries@sch.im
