Dear Parents/Carers,
New Navy School Polo-Shirt
We are mindful that some parents/carers may have purchased new uniform recently and in light of this, we are planning to phase out the white polo shirts over the next two academic years up to September 2026. We are expecting to see a mix of white and navy polo shirts throughout years 8-11 from September 2025 whilst we make this transition
The white school polo shirt bearing the school badge will be replaced by a navy school polo shirt bearing the school badge. This is due to parent/carer and pupil feedback about the difficulties of maintaining a white polo shirt.
Suppliers have been informed and prices will remain unchanged. (Excluding any annual increases)
Year 7 pupils starting in September 2025 will be expected to wear the new navy polo shirt.
School uniform purchases made for any year group from January 2025 onwards will consist of the new navy polo-shirt.
Navy School Hooded Top
As of this academic year, suppliers will cease to produce our navy hooded tops. These tops will no longer be included as part of our uniform, and will be phased out over the next two years (September 2026). Navy hooded tops can still be worn by years 8-11 during this transition process.
These hooded tops will not be included as part of the uniform for Year 7 September 2025.
A reminder of our unchanged uniform/rules:
Maroon School Sweatshirt bearing the school badge.
Trousers: School trousers (formal), black or grey. No denim, skinny jeans, or leggings.
Shorts/Skirts: School shorts/skirts (formal), black or grey. (No denim).
Socks/Tights: White, black or natural.
Footwear: Black (Unsafe styles such as heels are not suitable for school).
Top Coat: Plain coat. (No slogans). No Denim or Leather jackets
Special Notes:
No top coats are to be worn in classrooms.
Jewellery should only consist of plain stud earrings and one ring. The school takes no responsibility of any cases of loss or theft.
Unsuitable shoes, excessively long or short skirts are examples of hazards to be avoided.
We thank Parents/Carers for ensuring that our high expectations of uniform are met, and also thank you in advance for your support during our uniform transition period.
