  Frequently Asked Questions

Why order from school?
This places additional work on our school office staff but we firmly believe that, in the long term, this will benefit parents and will help to keep overall uniform costs stable. The first year of change always has the greatest impact, in terms of cost, as new uniforms have to be purchased and previous jumpers/cardigans, for example, cannot be handed down to siblings as is usually the case. We fully appreciate this and we will do all we can to help during this initial transition. As we build our school uniform stock we will hopefully be able to reinvest any profits to support parents with the price of uniform. Because school will be supplying uniform, any issues with quality or aftercare can be quickly resolved. We will also be hoping, in the future, to provide a good quality seconds uniform outlet for parents to access should they wish to do so.

I am concerned about the costing and any additional costs this year?
We are very aware of the impact the current ‘cost of living’ is having on everyone. This is placing additional spending pressure on all of our families and we are, at this time, not wanting to add further pressure or anxiety in relation to uniform costs. If you have any worries, please do not hesitate to speak to Mr. Duncan.

Look out for information on ClassDojo regarding a uniform sale event in the school hall where we sell clean, good quality uniform donations and long-term unclaimed lost property items.

Shirts, summer dresses, trousers, skirts (black or grey) etc. can be bought from local supermarkets and stores. There are some really good deals out there that can work out cheaper than your traditional uniform store.

My child has SEN and sensory needs. A change of uniform may cause issues. What do I do?
We work very closely with parents of all of our SEND children. In our experience, a change of uniform rarely causes an issue if your child is fully supported with this transition by home and school. In exceptional cases, school can make allowances regarding school uniform. Please have a conversation with Mr. Duncan if you need to.

Looking after school uniform
It is really important that our children look after their school uniform. Our school is no different from any other school in that items of uniform do get misplaced from time to time. Please ensure that you have labelled every item so that, if misplaced, lost items of uniform can be found and returned quickly. We have spoken with all of the children about taking care of their school uniform.

I still have concerns or questions, what do I do?
Please come and speak to us. Mr. Duncan has an open-door policy and he is more than happy to chat with any parent about any concerns that you may have.

Do you have any samples to check sizes?
Yes. Sample uniform sizes are available. Parents are welcome to contact the school office to arrange a time to check sizes.
