Uniform
Please view the uniform lists below.
Uniform requirements are subject to change.
Key Points
Students must be in full correct uniform at all times. Students will either be in the normal uniform or their PE kit. PE Uniform may be worn for the duration of the school day when students are scheduled to have a practical PE lesson or participate in a PE fixture or club.
The Blazer is a compulsory item for all students and must be worn when in normal uniform, rather than PE kit.
The V-neck jumper is optional.
Students will be expected to wear their blazer at all times, with the following exceptions:
- When a teacher directs them to take it off in lesson time or assembly
- During break or lunch
- On exceptionally hot days – when there will be “blazer free” days
Year 11 – Optional Black V neck
As senior students in the school, students in year 11 may choose to wear a black V-neck jumper, with the school logo, instead of the maroon jumper.

The purpose of our uniform is to contribute to the business-like atmosphere of the school and create a sense of school identity. Tutors and teachers may carry out checks at the start of each lesson / session that the students are presenting themselves appropriately for school and in accordance with the uniform list.
