School Uniform

Secondhand? No problem!

We encourage the recycling of school uniforms within and between families! Please feel free to send in any items which are in good condition and no longer needed - and we will make use of these to provide free uniform sets or within our periodic secondhand uniform sales.

If you are struggling for uniform, always come and speak to us - we ALWAYS have lots of secondhand items available!

For PE:

  • Black or navy shorts
  • White t-shirt* round-necked and short-sleeved or school's own navy PE shirt with logo*
  • Plimsolls or indoor trainers

In addition, from Y2 upwards pupils will require:

  • Tracksuit or jogging bottoms and long-sleeved rugby-type top
  • Old trainers for cross-country running/field
  • Sports trainers for playground activities

For hockey and football clubs pupils may require shin pads

Younger children may also need warm outdoor kit if they take part in after school sports clubs.
