How to place a uniform order
Please click the School Colours Direct logo above. This links to the School Colours Direct website where you will need to create an account the first time you order or log-in to an existing account as a returning customer. You will then be able to order the usual range of school items.
Delivery
Shipping is free-to-school on a fortnightly basis or you can pay an additional fee for your order to be shipped to a home/work address within 3 working days. If you wish to choose the free-to-school delivery remember that it can take up to 2 weeks for your order to arrive at the school.
Your uniform order can be collected during term time from the School Reception on the first and third Thursday of each month between 3.00pm and 4.45pm (provided your order is placed by 10 am on Wednesday) or if you prefer your son/daughter can collect the order from Reception. The first delivery to school will be Thursday 1st July.
Delivery information is available on the Schools Colours Direct web shop; just click on ‘Delivery and Returns’ which is on every garment page.
Please be aware that delivery to school can take two week so if you son/daughter does not have the right uniform items, please use delivery to home.
Free- to-school shipping during School Holidays
Please note that the school is closed in the summer holidays the last delivery to school during term time will be Thursday 15th July. However, we have made arrangements for orders to be collected from school on Wednesday 4 August and Monday 23 August between 10.00am and 2.00pm only. If you cannot collect on either of those dates we recommend that summer orders are sent to your home address. Orders must be made by Tuesday 27 July and Saturday 17 August to meet the deadline for these deliveries.
Uniform Fitting
We provide detailed sizing information on all items to give you the best opportunity of choosing the correct size (see link below).

All Students should be wearing the correct uniform both in school and on the journey to and from school. Blazers should be worn around school and as students enter and leave lessons. Shirts should be tucked in and skirts should be worn without modification. Students should take pride in wearing their uniform and remember that they are ambassadors for the school when they are seen wearing it.
We take great pride in our uniform and think our students look fantastic.
