The guide above reflects the change we made to uniform in 2020 to give additional flexibility as ventilation in school meant there was a chance of colder classrooms.  The full uniform guide is on this page.

Keeping school uniform affordable

The Teaching Times reported that the annual school uniform costs £316 per secondary pupil. https://www.teachingtimes.com/school-uniform-costs

Under the Education (Guidance about Costs of School Uniforms) Act 2021, the government set out statutory guidance that schools must consider when developing their uniform policies. The guidance requires schools to:

• Make sure contracts with uniform suppliers are competitive and transparent in order to keep costs down.
• Consider the quality and longevity of garments, alongside their cost.
• Consider high street alternatives instead of branded-items, which can be pricey.
• Encourage the use of second-hand uniform. 
• Ensure parents have access to clear information about uniform policies.

In light of the guidance we are focusing on keeping uniform costs reasonable for families of all backgrounds and that uniforms give the best value for money.

How To Cut The Cost Of School Uniform

• Supermarket school uniforms.  Shirts, sock and shoes etc can be excellent value if you shop around the supermarkets.
• Keep an eye out for sales. You can often get 20% or 25% off school uniform when M&S and Tu (Sainsbury's) do clothing discounts a few times a year.
• Buy second-hand uniforms from your school.  The school holds second-hand school uniform sales which are advertised on the school bulletin a few times a year. Sometimes you can be lucky and grab bargain uniform for just a few pounds.
• Lost property – all students can access lost property to look for lost items. If a student has lost an item of school uniform encourage them to notify reception to look for it.
• Check local Facebook groups and other online marketplaces. eBay and Facebook Marketplace can be a treasure trove.
• Ensure that items of uniform are clearly named.  We can then return any lost uniform to the students.
