Skirts can be straight or pleated but no skater skirts. Skirts must be an appropriate length, no shorter than 6cm above the knee.

Our school uniform was designed together with students and their parents, we thank them for their helpful contribution.

The design of our jacket is a smart jacket and is not a blazer, they look smarter and last longer.  There is a different design for boys and girls and each jacket has a bright, fun House colour lining to match the ties so that students can display pride in their House.  The jackets are made from high quality, durable fabrics and are ethically manufactured. Jackets are machine washable and dry easily without the need for dry cleaning.  They have extendable sleeves (information on how to lengthen the sleeves can be found on the School Colours website).

Before ordering online, students can try on the jackets and jumpers using our sizing sets which are at The Sports Shop in Kingswinford.  Jackets are then ordered online from School Colours Direct (link on the school website), there is a quick and direct delivery service to your home address, or free school delivery can be selected (please see below for school delivery information). When selecting garments required on the web shop, it is always best to also select gender and product type for them to appear in a more logical order on screen.

School Delivery dates are every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month. Orders must be placed before 10am on the Friday before the delivery date to guarantee delivery.  Orders can be collected from Reception on or after the delivery date. We recommend calling Reception on 01384 816165 to confirm your order has arrived. Please note that we do not inform parents/carers when orders have arrived due to the large volume of orders that are delivered.
