We encourage all pupils to wear school uniform. Pupils, parents and staff were involved in choosing the current dress code and the items have been selected so that pupils clearly identify with the school. This helps to instil a sense of pride and team spirit within our school.

• School sweatshirt - Red or French navy blue with school logo preferably

• White polo shirt

• Dark school skirt or trousers

• Dark school shoes for outside, not with high heels (boots or wellies for winter) 

• Gym shoes or trainers for inside. 

• Weather proof jacket

PE Kit (which should be kept in a gym bag) consists of:

• T shirt (not football shirt or shoestring strap tops)
