Uniform
Building strong relationships with parents and carers – based on mutual respect and trust – is at the centre of our school’s ethos. We want our parents and carers to feel valued and to be fully involved in their children’s learning and development.
Our clearly defined guidelines can be found here and some guidance pictures are included to further ensure that parents and carers are clear about our expectations.
Being fair and consistent is our key aim; if we are consistent in our expectations and responses, we can hold students accountable.
All students should be in the correct uniform for school. Our uniform rules will also appear in the September planner.

Pre-Loved Uniform Scheme
We are excited to have recently launched our Pre-Loved Uniform Scheme. We know that uniform can be an expensive requirement for our families. With this in mind, we want to help our school community by making good quality, preloved uniform easily available to everyone. Many items of uniform have a longer life beyond the point when our students have outgrown them and could be re-used by another student. As well as saving family’s money, re-using uniform also reduces our impact on the environment.
To support our scheme, we are asking families to donate any unwanted items of uniform that could be worn by another student. Donations can be handed in to the school office. If there are items that you are interested in, we ask that you respond directly to amanda.luckett@shr.mmat.co.uk with your required size to reserve items. Our school staff will then make contact directly with you, to arrange collection.
Recommended Pre-Loved Uniform Donations:
- Grey School Jumper – £5
- Old Style Blazer and Old-Style Black SA Sweater Year 11 – £3
- School Skirts, Trousers and Shorts – £2
- School Blouses and Shirts – £2
- New PE Jumper – £5
All donations will be given directly to our School Food Bank S4T, which is available to all students and families. With the continued rise in household costs, we hope this initiative can make a small difference by helping some of our families to access uniform at a heavily reduced cost.
