Find out more about our school uniform and where you can buy it, plus any equipment that your child will need for their studies.
We believe that wearing a school uniform promotes a sense of pride, belonging, and equality among our students. Our uniform policy ensures that all pupils are dressed appropriately for learning, representing our school community with respect and professionalism.
You can see our full Uniform Policy hereAll students are required to wear blazers and ties with the school crest on the chest of the blazer and on the tie, below the knot.
The ties have the same basic design, with a different coloured stripe denoting which year group your child is in.
The year group will keep their particular colour as they grow through the school so there is no need for parents to replace the tie until their son/daughter starts Year 11 when they will require a 'Senior Student' tie.
Blazers and ties are worn with a plain white collared shirt. The shirt needs to have a top button which can be fastened so that it looks smart when worn with a tie. School trousers/skirts and shoes must be black.
School uniform must be worn correctly to and from the school, as well as in the school. Students failing to conform to the strict uniform rules may be placed in ‘isolation’ with their tutor or Head of Year.
The PE kit from September for Year 7 is a green polo shirt with the school logo. The white polo shirt or green polo shirt can still be worn by students in Years 8-11. Black shorts or tracksuit bottoms / leggings are to be worn by boys and girls. Boys are also required to wear black football socks and a ‘rugby reversible’ in the Autumn and Spring Terms.
Footwear - Training shoes/football boots.

We ask parents for 100% support in upholding the school standards and expectations of students' uniform and behaviour. We want all items to be of a traditional tailored style. This is unchanged from before. Students failing to adhere to expectations may be removed from normal circulation until the issue has been resolved.

Shirts are plain white and fastened with a top button. These are always to be ‘tucked in’. The school emblem must be on show below the tie knot when the tie is fastened.
Nail varnish must be colourless or very pale pink. Nails may be natural or acrylic, but must be of a short length that will not cause an injury to themselves or others during PE lessons.
If students wear make-up, this must be so discretely applied as to be indiscernible. False eye lashes must be of a natural length. Students will be instructed to remove any make up if it is deemed excessive.
Extreme hairstyles are not considered appropriate. If in doubt, please consult us.
