Uniform & Equipment

We believe that a school uniform helps to give young people a sense of identity and belonging.

It reinforces the fact that all students are equally important members of the school community. Our core business is teaching and learning and our expectation is that all students arrive at their lesson fully equipped and ready to learn.

Ours is a straightforward and comfortable school uniform which students are expected to wear in the correct spirit. Wearing the correct school uniform is a crucial part of this readiness; it shows that students are fulfilling their responsibilities and allows us to devote all our time and energies to teaching and learning.

Outdoor Clothing
All students are required to wear the College polo shirt. If they are inside the building and require an additional layer of clothing then this should be the College sweatshirt. When traveling to and from school and when outside the school building, students are allowed to wear all items of outdoor clothing, including coats, jackets, hoodies, scarves, gloves and hats. None of these should have inappropriate slogans or logos.
On re-entering the building, students should remove all hats, scarves and gloves immediately. They may continue to wear a coat or jacket, if it is worn over a sweatshirt. When they enter their classroom, students should actively remove their coat or jacket, to ensure that they are ready to learn as quickly as possible.

PE Uniform
Following consultation with parents, staff and students we are upgrading the school PE uniform. Comfort, durability and sizing have been prioritised in this decision making process.  The new kits will be phased in over time; they can be worn by new students to the school from September 2019 and will be available to existing students when replacing current items. These items will be available to purchase on line from 4th June 2019.
