Additionally, we require a link on the school website to a uniform area, which will give parents the ability to order on line at the same price as the shop,
We also plan to offer packages for new year 7 students.

Primary School

The uniform will be a grey polo shirt, green jumper and black trousers or skirt. In the summer the girls can wear green gingham summer dresses and both can wear tailored shorts. The summer dresses parents will be able to buy from local supermarkets to keep the cost as low as possible to them, polo shirts, jumpers will be from the supplier.

Contract value:
