School uniforms give a sense of community identity - we are all in this together
School uniforms help with routine and make getting ready for school easier - you don't have to worry about choosing what to wear and you always know which items needs to be clean and ready in advance
School uniforms promote safety and learning - they are appropriate for the task and weather, are non-distracting, and make it quicker for staff to identify pupils when out on trips etc
School uniforms promote equality and prevent bullying - pupils feel the same and are not worried or jealous about having the latest expensive trends
School uniforms prevent expensive fashion items from being damaged, lost or stolen
School uniforms help with good discipline - studies have shown that schools with uniforms in general have better discipline than schools which do not, they are a visible sign of following school rules
School uniforms set a standard of dress - preventing inappropriate clothing and embarrassing situations
School uniforms encourage respect for traditions, high expectations for self, and professional attitudes for the future - pupils learn to accept responsibility for dressing appropriately to their situation

Jewellery (other than a plain watch) should not be worn please. However if your child has newly pierced ears, studs should be covered with micropore tape for safety
Branding/ logos/ images/ text/ patterns etc. should not be worn please.
We recommend having more than one of each uniform item (below) to ensure that clothes are clean every day
Navy sweatshirt/ fleece/ cardigan
(plain or with school logo)
White/ pale-blue blouse/shirt or polo shirt
(plain or with school logo)
Grey tailored trousers, skirt or pinafore
Grey/ white/ navy tights or socks
Black shoes
(without laces, unless the pupil can tie them)
White/ pale-blue short-sleeved blouse/shirt
Grey shorts
Blue and white checked dress
Summer options are non-compulsory. These options have no fixed start/ end period. Pupils should be dressed according to the weather.
The following items should be in school during term times, in a simple bag:
White t-shirt - round neck, no buttons (plain or with school logo)
A pair of plain black or navy blue shorts
A pair of plain black gym plimsolls
Navy track suit in cold weather (plain or with school logo)
Pupils all wear the same uniform and often remove their sweatshirts etc throughout the day. It is therefore essential that EVERY item your child owns in school has their name on it. There are many online companies who produce iron-on name tags for this purpose at a reasonable price - however a good permanent marker on the label works just as well.
If your child has mislaid an item please speak to your class teacher or contact the office to look through the lost property box.
Plain items listed above can be purchased from most supermarkets/ high street clothing or uniform specialist shops. Pre-owned uniforms are available on the link below and items bearing the official school logo can be purchased on the lower links.
