It is particularly important that all items of clothing and PE equipment should be clearly marked with the pupil’s name.

If you are unsure about any item on the list, please check with school before making a purchase. (Do not be influenced by the statement – “But everyone else is wearing it/them”!)

Make up, false eyelashes, false nails and nail varnish do not form part of our uniform and are not permitted.

A wristwatch and one pair of plain stud earrings are permitted. No other piercings are permitted.

Please note that trainers do not form part of our main school uniform and should only be worn for PE. We do hold a supply of appropriate footwear in school that can be provided if your child comes to school in unsuitable footwear.
