Uniform

 

Uniform is available online via our school website from Price and Buckland . Order forms are also stocked in our school office. Items which can be bought from other retailers must comply with our Uniform Policy. If you are in doubt about the suitability of trousers, a skirt, shoes or any other item you have bought to wear to school:
 

  1. a) keep the receipt;

 

  1. b) ask the Pastoral team to tell you if the item is acceptable. If the item is unsuitable and unworn, the retailer should refund you the cost.

Do not rely on items being sold in a ‘School Wear Department’ of shops because they do not always comply with our Uniform Policy.
