Our school uniform was reviewed in 2024-25, please note the changes that have been made. I would draw particular attention to school skirts and jackets

  • Any pupil who wants to wear the school skirt must purchase the new skirt (below the knee) unless their current skirt length is to the knee.
  • All pupils wearing skirts must pair them with black socks or black opaque tights (50 denier upwards).
  • While a school jacket is not compulsory, if your child intends on wearing a jacket to school, this is the only jacket that will be permitted to be worn in school.

  • You are requested to bring your child to, and collect them from, school on the 22nd August.
  • School buses will run as normal from Monday 25th August 2025.
