News and Current Information

Uniform and Equipment

Uniform is compulsory for all girls in Years 7–11, although students in Year 11 may wear their own clothes during the examination period in the summer term.

Parents are requested to help the school in its endeavours to try to ensure that school uniform is worn correctly so that students look smart. We would ask you to ensure that your daughter leaves home correctly attired in full school uniform without jewellery other than a watch, cross and chain and stud earrings, without holes in her tights or sweater and wearing the correct outdoor garment. Heeled shoes are not allowed and trainers may only be worn for PE lessons. The wearing of nail polish and the colouring of hair are not acceptable in school. All items should be clearly marked with the owner’s name.

School Uniform Shop

Most items are purchased from the school. Each year in June, we hold an Induction Day for new pupils who will be joining us in September. During the course of this day, there will be an opportunity to collect school uniform which has been pre-ordered from the Uniform Shop. The shop is open term time only as follows:

Monday to Wednesday - 8.15am to 1.30pm

Thursday - 12 noon till 4.15pm.

Friday - The shop is closed.

Uniform can be bought from the shop or ordered in advance. Please contact Clare Wilson for an appointment or an order form on ()1223) 224145. Order forms can also be obtained from Reception.

Sixth Form Dress Code

Members of the sixth form may wear their own clothes but are expected to dress as smartly as possible. The girls should wear smart jeans and trousers (i.e. not torn and frayed), smart skirts or dresses that are not too short, plain respectable jumpers and tops (i.e. not showing midriffs or minimal vest tops).
