Browsing school items from local schools in the Schooly app

Built around schools

Schooly is uniquely built around your local schools/colleges and local area.

With Schooly you can select your preferred schools and then buy and sell school uniforms, equipment and books with others in the same school. This makes it very easy to find what you need and find buyers for your used uniforms and books quickly and without fuss.

The developers of schooly could not believe how many perfectly good uniforms, equipment and books were being thrown out. Perfectly good items that others could use. That's why this app was built - stop the waste!

Uniforms and Books

Sell, Buy or Freecycle and place wanted ads for all school uniforms, equipment and all types of books.

With schooly you can:

  • Place a wanted ad for a uniform just for your school
  • Place a wanted ad for books or equipment optionally just for your school or college
  • Sell a school uniform just for your school
  • Buy a school uniform for the schools added to your preferred schools list

While the focus is on second hand school uniforms, equipment and books, Schooly encourages people to use the app to list all kinds of books - fiction and non-fiction.

Messaging

Schooly allows you to ask questions about uniforms, books or equipment you see listed and have private conversations with others to arrange for collection.

If you see a wanted ad that you can help with, request a private chat with the person who needs it and talk privately with them to figure out if you have what they need.
