Students and Families
At 蘑菇tv we want to highlight how school uniform is paramount in promoting a cohesive learning environment and cementing pride in the school community. We have designed a uniform that will be both comfortable and smart, to ensure that every child has a sense of belonging within the school.
The following outlines the uniform expectations for key stage 3 and 4, and sixth form.
The full uniform policy can be viewed on our Trust’s website.
