Uniform

Parents are requested to ensure that full school uniform is worn at all times in order to show their support for the high standards set by the school.  

We have gone through the new DfE Uniform Guidance from the government with our daywear uniform supplier, and we believe that as a school that our uniform is compliant with the guidance. We limit our branding to only key items of uniform, accounting for less than 40% of the daywear, with well-worn items (i.e. shirts, blouses and trousers etc.) being able to be bought from any stockist specialised or high street alike. These key items ensure that the school is well represented in the local community and provides a sense of belonging to the school.

We also work with the PTFA who host regular second hand uniform sales with high quality uniform being offered at highly discounted prices.  Our pupil premium students are also eligible to receive key parts of school uniform free of charge.

Uniform should be purchased from our suppliers, Stevensons of St Albans, who will visit the school to fit students on a pre-arranged day in the Summer term.  The price list is available for download at the bottom of the page.
