Uniform

School Uniform

Our Approach

We are committed to providing a practical, affordable, and inclusive school uniform that supports equality and meets statutory guidance on school uniform costs.

Generic uniform items can be purchased from a range of retailers, with only a small number of optional branded items available through the school office. We welcome requests for reasonable adjustments to our uniform expectations for medical, religious, cultural, or equality-related reasons. Please contact Mr Brearey if you wish to discuss your child's needs.

All clothing, footwear, bags, and water bottles should be clearly labelled with your child's name.

Children may wear:

  • Navy sweatshirt or cardigan (with or without school logo)
  • Navy hoodie or zoodie (optional)
  • Red polo shirt (with logo)
  • Grey or black trousers
  • Grey or black skirt or pinafore dress
  • Red and white gingham dress or playsuit (summer)

Please note:

  • Trainers, open-toed sandals, high heels, and large boots are not suitable for everyday school wear.

Hairstyles should be neat and appropriate for school. Long hair should be tied back where necessary for safety. Hair accessories are permitted. Brightly coloured hair, make-up, and false nails are not allowed.

Reasonable adjustments will be considered for medical, cultural, religious, or equality-related reasons.

Purchasing Uniform

Most uniform items can be purchased from supermarkets or high-street retailers. School-branded items are available from the school office.


Expectations

Parents and carers are asked to ensure that children attend school in the correct uniform, with clothing that is clean, named, and in good condition. The school will always take a supportive and understanding approach where financial hardship affects access to uniform. Concerns, requests for adjustments, or questions about the uniform policy should be directed to Mr Brearey.
