iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Reasons for uniform Our uniform Second hand uniform Policy We ask that children wear a uniform to school for a number of reasons: To encourage a sense of pride in the school community they belong to. 2) To foster a sense of belonging to our school family 3) To encourage a sense of equality between pupils. It is a school requirement to abide by the uniform policy at all times.
If you would like to purchase a branded uniform, please contact the school office team or place an order via our website. Whilst we do hold some stock throughout the year, we place a large order in July ready for September.
We will communicate when this happens and ask that you complete an order form via our website, to allow us to be more accurate with the quantities and sizes we need to order.
If at any point during the year, your child requires more uniform please speak to the office team and we will either have spare stock for you to purchase or will place a subsequent order however, this might take a bit of time to arrive. • Burgundy sweatshirt or cardigan – branded with school logo or unbranded. • White polo shirt or burgundy polo shirt branded with school logo or unbranded. • Black/Grey smart trousers or smart shorts • Black/Grey skirt or pinafore with socks or tights • Burdgundy gingham dress, or playsuit, with socks • Black school shoes (without a heel) or black trainers (plain).
