School Uniform Statement 

The school governors expect every student in Years 7–11 to wear the correct school uniform.

For students in the 6th Form, uniform is not required, but good standards of dress are necessary. 

Sending your child to school in school uniform sets a standard in appearance, of which both parents/carers and the school can be proud. For health reasons, it is important that students are properly dressed for physical activity.  It is helpful if articles of clothing are clearly marked with your child’s name.

We believe that a school uniform is important because it:

  • Looks smart
  • Wears well
  • Contributes to a sense of belonging and community
  • Makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance
  • Fosters a feeling of pride
  • Is designed with health and safety in mind

Sixth Form

Sixth Form dress code:

Please note that hoodies are not permitted in School.

Whilst students are not required to wear school uniform, we have high expectations on dress code and wish to set an example to the rest of the lower school. On one designated day each week, we raise our expectation to an interview standard, which will be on a Monday. We expect all students to reflect a modest and tidy appearance at all times.

Labelling Uniform

Please make sure all uniform, coats, PE equipment, lunch boxes etc, are clearly labelled with your child’s full name.  It is much easier to reunite a lost item of clothing with your child if it is labelled. 

You can purchase pre-printed iron on labels from Mapac.com or buy blank iron-on labels and a laundry-proof pen from supermarkets, stationers etc.
