P.E.:

  • Outdoor wear: either hooded panelled PE top* or black/purple/white panelled football-style shirt* with black tracksuit trousers with purple trim*

  • Students may bring their own sports equipment and sport-specific footwear (e.g. football/hockey boots) for out-of-lesson practices and matches should they wish to

PE kit purchased in line with previous uniform lists remains permitted for students in Years 10 and above.

Summer dress code:

From the date of the first GCSE examination (usually mid-May), the following amendments apply to the uniform policy:

  • Shirts may be replaced with plain white polo shirts. Shirts must continue to be tucked in, whereas polo shirts are designed to fall at around belt level. Students may be instructed to tuck their polo-shirt in if they are particularly baggy/untidy.
  • Blazers need to be accessible, in case of formal events such as assemblies or meeting visitors. However they can be stowed in bags or lockers.
