Uniform

We take pride in our uniform but also take a practical approach as we understand that clothes need to be comfortable and easy to put on and take off. Dressing is an important life skill and we encourage all our pupils to be involved in dressing and preparing themselves for school at whatever level is appropriate for them.  For some this may be about learning to associate their uniform with going to school, for others it may be about distinguishing the left shoe from the right or learning how to fasten clothes themselves.

We are very happy to discuss any bespoke adaptations that you feel your son or daughter may need due to their needs, e.g. black leggings or black dungarees. Please speak to one of the co-principals if you are not sure.

We have lots of donations of good quality uniform that pupils have grown out of. Some of these items are on display at the front of school. Please do have a look through our uniform rail or ask your Head of Department if you can’t see the size or colour you are looking for. There is a donations box on the rail if you would like to donate to school funds but no items on the rail are priced.

New uniform can only be ordered directly from School Trends
