Uniform is a very important part of our school and community. It enable us to promote a sense of identity, to avoid divisiveness and helps create and foster in every student a sense of personal pride and pride in the school.
Specialist items such as blazers, the new school skirt and school ties can be purchased from our uniform supplier (details below). The remainder of the uniform can be purchased from most high street stores and supermarkets.
We encourage all students and parents to donate any unwanted uniform that remains in good condition. This can be taken directly to pastoral or to the main reception. The Miners Lamp at Eastwoods Park also has donated uniform items that families can access.
