We believe that wearing uniform helps to create a sense of identity and community in school. Our uniform is smart, practical and comfortable and we expect pupils to wear it with pride when at school, on journeys between home and school, and especially when representing the school on visits and fixtures. Pupils who do not meet our expectations about uniform will usually receive a sanction.
Please note that school-branded items should be purchased from our school suppliers: Schoolyard and Total Clothing.
We will run second-hand uniform events when possible. If you would like to check our second-hand uniform availability, please complete the form below to submit your enquiry: Second-Hand Uniform Request.
