School Uniform

 

Please find below our school uniform dress code for September 2024.  School uniform is an important part of our school identity, but we want to ensure that it is not so expensive that it becomes a burden to families.  All parents/carers are asked to follow the school dress code, which ensures our children are dressed smartly and appropriately for school. 

Uniform with school logos (outlined below*) can be ordered directly from our supplier McLellan via their website www.mclellanclothing.com.  Alternatively, school logo badges (blue for cardigans/jumpers and white for polo tops/white t-shirts) can be purchased from school and ironed on to jumpers, cardigans, polo tops or PE tops at home.  These logo badges are available to be purchased on Parent Pay.  They will then be sent home to you with your child. 

ALL items should be clearly labelled with your child’s name. School cannot be held responsible for any items of clothing lost by children.
