 We are acutely aware of the financial challenges many are facing currently. The school has made significant changes to reduce the cost of school uniform for parents/carers whilst maintaining the high standards of uniform that we expect of our school community. Schools are expected to comply with the government’s Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill by September 2026 which states that secondary school uniform can include a maximum of three branded items and a school tie.

Our uniform already meets this requirement. 

 * Plain navy-blue tailored school trousers can be worn as an alternative. Tight trousers, leggings or jeans are NOT permitted.
