School Uniform

We believe that having our own school uniform gives the school an identity and encourages the children to take pride in both their appearance and their school. The school colours are royal blue, grey and white and a full list is shown below:

Grey tunic or skirt of an appropriate length

White shirt or white blouse

White polo shirt

Royal blue and white check dress (for summer)

Royal blue pullover, cardigan, sweatshirt (crew or “V” neck) or fleece (with school emblem where possible)

Sensible well-fitting shoes (with backs or low heels) or summer sandals (no flip flop style shoes)

 All items with our school logo are available from My Clothing uniform service (myclothing.com) or Intersport in Seaford Town.
