Uniform
You are able to order school uniform online from Skoolkit and My Clothing Limited.
Our school uniform is very simple, and we do not require you to purchase any uniform with a logo unless you want to. We have recently asked our provider to stop producing new uniform that includes a logo so, once current stock has run out, we will just be continuing with a uniform based on school colours. There is, however, no end date after which our current uniform with a logo can't be worn. We hope this will help parents to be able to make use of second hand or reduced price uniform stock that is available.
Trousers/skirt are plain grey or black and a plain white polo shirt is suitable. We are very flexible with uniform, and understand that due to sensory needs some children may find the clothing uncomfortable. Please do not worry in this instance as our main goal is to have our children engaged in learning, and feeling happy in school.
We always try to have a second-hand / pre-loved school uniform sale at our annual Summer Fayre.
Skoolkit are also stocking our uniform in their shop in Basingstoke (15 Church Street, Basingstoke, RG21 1QG; Tel: 01256 817284; Opening hours: 09:00-17:30). Skoolkit orders placed online will be delivered to your home address.
