We advise students not to bring valuables to school as we cannot take responsibility for their safe keeping.

Please note that the school jumper and summer polo shirt are required to be branded (with the school crest) All other uniform items are generic. Branded items are available from our school suppliers; the school also has a supply of second-hand uniform items for sale.

Uniform can be purchased from Uniformity Clothing Ltd using their online purchasing system or by visiting their shop at 22 - 26 Handbridge, Chester, CH4 TJE.

We advise you not to bring valuables to school as we cannot take responsibility for their safe keeping. All uniform must be clearly named.

Sportswear, hooded tops, caps, scarves and handbags are not part of the school uniform and should not be brought into school. These items will be confiscated by Form Tutors during registration.

Acceptable standards

All students in Years 7-11 should wear school uniform when attending school, or when participating in a school-organised event outside normal school hours. We ask all parents/carers for their support of the school uniform guidelines.

Students arriving at school in unacceptable attire, may be asked to remove the item, placed in isolation or sent home to get changed.

We hold a supply of replacement items into which students may be asked to change.

If your child finds it necessary to deviate from uniform regulations, then for KS3, a note must be written for the attention of the Form Tutor in their planner on that particular day. For KS4, a message left, or emailed to the Form Tutor.

Although we encourage students to wear the advised branded sports clothing due to the high quality of items, families may wish to purchase non branded clothing. This MUST include no logos and be plain in either navy or black. As per the school uniform policy jumpers/fleeces must be round neck with no hoods as these can pose a health and safety hazard.

All Students should be clean, smart and dressed appropriately for an educational and work environment.

Slide right to see full calendar as required

Students should be seen as clean and smart so that the right standards are set for the rest of the school.

In areas of potential uncertainty (e.g. what constitutes ‘outrageous’ clothing or hairstyle) students should check beforehand. Ultimately, the decision of the school is final.
