Our uniform is an important part of our school identity; it helps us to know that we belong. We are proud of our school and our smart uniform reflects this.
A note about our uniform...
Based on pupil and parent feedback, we are in the process of changing our uniform towards a more active and practical uniform, whilst maintaining the high standards we expect of our pupils.
From June 2026, children are allowed to wear the uniform outlined below which will be compulsory from September 2027.
We want to work with our families during this transition period and appreciate that you may have some of our current formal uniform which will still fit your child now and into 2026/2027. Please continue to wear this, but as you replace items, they will need to adhere to the below.
We have also been mindful of cost and have outlined more affordable options within the new uniform to support families. However, as clothing will be more suited to active use, children may need a greater number of items to ensure they remain comfortable and presentable throughout the week.
