We’re reaching out to our wonderful school community to ask for your help. Recently, we’ve had an increased need for spare clothing for learners, particularly joggers/leggings in a range of sizes, due to unexpected circumstances such as accidents or belongings being misplaced. If you have any clean, good‑condition joggers/leggings that your children have outgrown and you’d be happy to donate, they would be incredibly appreciated and would help us ensure all learners can feel comfortable and supported during the school day. Donations can be brought into school and handed to reception. Thank you, as always, for your kindness and support ❤️

The school’s Governing Body and Senior Leaders agree that the main priority is that pupils attend school happy and comfortably.  Therefore, we do not have a specific uniform policy and follow a more flexible approach.

Note: We will not allow anything that is offensive or deemed inappropriate.

We do recognise that there are many benefits to wearing a school uniform:

It provides a sense of belonging and identify

It sets an appropriate tone for education

It promotes our school that we are proud of

Therefore, we encourage our pupils to wear our uniform wherever possible.

​

To provide flexibility and hopefully comfort, there are many uniform options available and these are not gender specific.

​

General Uniform:

Black sweatshirt or cardigan (school logo optional)

White polo shirt or white shirt (school logo optional)

Black trousers, jog pants, or skirts

Black shoes or trainers

PE Kit:

Plain red t-shirt or polo shirt (school logo optional)

Black shorts, joggers, or leggings

Appropriate footwear (trainers or pumps)

Lightweight jacket and/or plain hoodie/jumper for bad weather (no oversized hoodies or jackets during PE lessons)

Students should wear their PE kit to school on PE days and do not need to bring their regular uniform.

Swimming Kit:

Swimming shorts/trunks or costume

Towel and toiletries

T-shirt over swimming kit allowed for modesty

Thin wetsuits permitted if needed

Swim pants or swim nappies must be provided by the family

All branded school uniforms are available from Monkhouse. For second-hand uniforms, please contact school (limited supply).
