School Uniform

We pride ourselves on the high standards of uniform that our pupils display. 

Most items of uniform can be purchased from high street stores, however items in bold can only be purchased from our uniform suppliers:

• Parade Schoolwear, Matlock.
• Monkhouse Uniform Supplier 

Navy blue blazers with a pre-sewn school logo badge are available from Monkhouse/Parade School Wear but please note that school badges may be purchased from school to sew onto navy blue blazers bought elsewhere.

A predominantly navy blue or black bag, without logos/patterns must be provided.

All instances of incorrect uniform and appearance are noted, with detentions issued. Repeated infringement of uniform will lead to more serious sanctions and parental contact.
