We recognise that uniform costs can present a barrier to participation in education, and we are committed to ensuring this is avoided wherever possible.

As a Pathfinder school, we are committed to ensuring that our school uniform is affordable, inclusive, and accessible to all families. We prioritise simplicity in uniform requirements, minimise the use of branded items, and ensure that essential items are, wherever possible, widely available from multiple retailers at competitive prices.

Our school uniform

We are proud of our school community and the sense of belonging that our uniform helps to create. By wearing our uniform, children feel included, ready to learn and are able to fully take part in school life. It is designed to be comfortable, affordable and suitable for the wide range of activities children enjoy throughout the school day.

You can find our full school uniform policy on our website policies page.
