Uniform
Uniform shows that we are in a community. Wearing it says we’re all in this together.
We know that trends in clothing and accessories can be appealing but sometimes these aren’t suitable. Things may change, new trends and fashion might be unsuitable. We’ll keep you up to date with any changes.
We can provide you with recycled uniform should you need it - please see Mrs Smith for more information.
