Uniform & Equipment
The New Approach for September 2026​
From September 2026, students will wear their PE uniform to school on the days they have PE. On all other days, they will wear standard school uniform.
To make this new approach work effectively and maintain a smart, consistent look across the school, we are making a small adjustment to the PE uniform list (please see below).
All Students
Navy blue Viscount school blazer or navy blue jumper with embroidered school badge.
​​​
Black ‘traditional’ trousers
(not wide, tightly fitting, flared, low waistband or ‘hipster’. Leggings, elasticated material and denim materials are not permitted)
​
Short or long-sleeved school shirt in white
​
School tie
​
Plain black, grey or white socks only
​​
Natural skin tone or black tights
​
Coat, without offensive logo or writing
Sturdy leather shoes, or leather look, plain black footwear, without prominent logos.
(Boots, high-heeled shoes, canvas shoes, backless shoes and stiletto heels should not be worn)
Optional Alternatives
Navy blue jumper with embroidered school badge (can be worn instead of a school blazer)
​
Black standard skirt
Should a student choose to wear a skirt, it must be a standard Davenport skirt which is available from Skoolkit, our standard uniform supplier.
These skirts are compulsory, The link can be found here https://www.skoolkit.co.uk/school-uniform/61/view/2993. Of course, the option is still there to wear smart tailored trousers (not leggings) but from January 2024, no other skirts including: stretch jersey ‘tube’ skirts and ‘skater’ style skirts will be acceptable.
​​
Black shorts
(above the knee and no shorter than 1 inch above the middle of the knee, traditional in style not wide or ‘baggy’, tightly fitting, low waistband or ‘hipster’. Elasticated and denim materials are not permitted)
PE Kit
To ensure all students can participate comfortably, safely, and with confidence, the following standards apply:
Any t-shirt, round neck jumper, quarter zip jumper, jacket, shorts, skort, leggings or sports trousers worn should be navy blue (not black). If branded the logo should be small and subtle.
Navy blue leggings should be designed specifically for sport, made from thick, high-density stretch fabric that are non-see-through. Please note: if you have already purchased the black branded PE leggings, these can still be worn/purchased until they are eventually phased out and replaced with the navy version.
​​
Navy blue sports trousers must be lightweight performance training trousers or slim-fit sports joggers (slim / tapered at the ankle). Trousers and shorts must be without outer thigh/cargo pockets and flared or wide ankles.
​
Navy blue skorts should be designed specifically for sport with integrated shorts, and be of an appropriate, modest length for a full range of movement when worn without rolling the waistband down.​
To clarify: PE trousers/sports with stripes down the side ARE acceptable (including branded items with subtle logos). Examples below.
​
A reminder, the only exception to navy blue leggings are the CROFTON BRANDED black leggings.
General Uniform Notes
All items should be clearly marked with the forename and surname.
​
Hoodies may not be worn instead of a coat/blazer.
No jewellery should be worn, with the exception of a maximum of one pair of small, plain sleepers or studs in the ears. Plastic retainers may be worn in the nose. No other nose piercing jewellery is allowed,.
​
A watch may be worn at the owner’s risk.
​
Hair should be naturally coloured and kept tidy. No extreme hairstyles – for example shaved heads or shaved patterns in the hair.
​
Make-up, if worn, should be unobtrusive. Acrylic nails/false nails and coloured nail polishes are not allowed.
“Plain” as applied to items on this sheet encompasses the following:
-
Style – simple as far as possible
-
Materials – un-patterned and without decorations e.g. lettering, badges, embroidery etc.

​
Final decisions about the appropriateness of school uniform rest with the Headteacher.
