Uniform

From September 2022 our uniform has changed.  The new design is compulsory for all new Year 7 pupils and optional for one year for pupils in Years 8 to 11.  From September 2023, the new design is compulsory for all pupils.  The new uniform will be available from all the usual uniform suppliers.

If you are unsure on the suitability of any aspect of the school uniform please feel free to contact your child’s Year Leader prior to purchasing.  You can call school: 01282 865299 choosing Option 2 then selecting the option appropriate to the year leader of your child.   You can also email them directly checking their details on the staff list of the website.
