Uniform and School Shop

Uniform

Our uniform is very important to us and is an integral part of the school's ethos; one that promotes positive attitudes, high standards and gives students a sense of personal pride. We want our students to be proud of their school and our uniform allows them to demonstrate this. We would advise that all clothing is clearly named.

Stevensons

All of our uniform, complete with the school logo, can be purchased from our uniform supplier: Stevensons

You can purchase uniform via their online shop: https://www.stevensons.co.uk/

Stevenons have a shop in Reading town centre: 11 Market Place, Reading, RG1 2EG, however this is currently closed until further notice following a flood. When it reopens, their opening hours are:     9.00am – 5.30pm (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday) Closed – Wednesday and Sunday
