A smart, consistent uniform is a small but meaningful expression of our shared identity as a community. All pupils are expected to wear correct uniform and to take pride in their appearance.

Junior School

Our Junior School uniform is designed to be practical, comfortable and suitable for everyday school life. We keep things simple and flexible, so children feel comfortable and confident throughout the day while maintaining a smart and consistent look across the school.

The uniform consists of:

A navy school jumper, either the round neck or the V neck style
A white cotton shirt or blouse
Grey trousers, shorts or culottes
Grey socks or tights with black shoes
A waterproof black coat suitable for outdoor wear

A school bag is optional and can be provided by the school if needed.

Our uniform supplier is Stevensons. Our PE kit provider is Serious Stuff.

Senior School

Full uniform requirements for Years 7 to 13 are set out in the Year Group Information Booklet for your child’s year.

Our uniform supplier is Stevensons, whose Twickenham branch is at 1 to 15 Heath Road, TW1 4DB.

If you have any questions about uniform, please contact the school office.
