Uniform Expectations

As a school, we firmly believe that our school uniform at both Key Stage 3 and 4 plays a valuable role in contributing to our ethos and setting an appropriate tone that supports effective teaching and learning. Therefore all students should wear the specified school uniform below with names clearly marked on each item.

School Uniform

  • Plain black tailored trousers (not denim, slim or skinny fit) or a regulation knee length black pleated skirt

  • School blazer with school badge (compulsory for all years 7-11)

  • White shirt/blouse with a fastening top button

  • School Grey v-necked pullover (optional)

  • Dark plain outdoor coat (a hoody is not an alternative to a coat)

  • Plain, black formal, sturdy shoe, which can be polished (without clear logos, flashes, tabs, ankle straps, metal and different coloured trimmings)

Please note: Trainers, trainer look shoes, and canvas footwear is strictly not permitted under any circumstances irrespective of whether it is described as a ‘school shoe’ by retailers.
