Uniform update:

As you may be aware there were plans to change the school skirt for the academic year 2020/21 before the school closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Please can we ask that you refrain from purchasing this until you have received an update from school as to our next steps in regards to school uniform for September. At present any students attending school are not wearing uniform so that clothes can be washed each evening to reduce contamination risks.

A further update regarding this will be put on the school website w.c 22^nd June. Thank you for your support.
