Our uniform is compulsory and all items can be purchased from Uniform Direct, as well as other providers. In order to keep costs down, the only item that must have the school logo is the turquoise jumper or cardigan. Other items do not have to have the school logo. Please ensure your child is in full school uniform (including appropriate footwear) every day.
We understand that costs can mount up and to support further, there are some second-hand items available from school (all in good condition) which have been donated by pupils who have either left school or grown out of clothes. Please contact school for support with uniform.
