Uniform and Equipment

Students will be expected to wear the correct uniform or games kit at all times while at school.

Monkhouse and BangBang are our designated suppliers for school specific items. Blazer badges can be purchased directly from the school for £5 if you prefer to buy a plain black blazer and sew the badge on yourself.

All uniform and PE kit should be named to prevent items from getting lost. 

We are mindful of the cost of school uniform and keep a supply of spare and nearly new uniform and PE kit in the school for any families who need them. If parents wish to take a look at what we have, they can contact the school office to arrange a visit.
