Sensory uniform:

We understand that young people may require a reasonable adjustment around sensory needs, and we will always work with parents/carers around this. Please see below websites that provide sensory-friendly uniforms to help ease any concerns they may have.

The reason we ask students to wear the college uniform is to create a sense of belonging to the college and the wider ethos. We remain a college that wants to work with students to help shape the vision for the college. When considering the change of uniform in the summer term, last academic year, we moved towards the college jumper and hoodie to ensure students felt warm and comfortable at a reasonable cost.  Should your child have feelings about the uniform, please ask them to contact Mr Gillard for an opportunity to share their feelings.  

We appreciate your support in this matter and are always open to communication with parents for their feedback.

Note: Please ensure that NAMES are put into the garments to reduce lost kit

Parents and carers will be informed of concerns regarding uniforms.
