School Uniform

A high standard of personal appearance is expected of all students. Uniform is compulsory for all Main School students who must arrive equipped for learning.

We have recently reviewed our school uniform to ensure it is appropriate and affordable for families.

We have reduced the number of uniform items that need to feature the school logo so parents can purchase more items from supermarkets. Our uniform is also gender-neutral and girls are welcome to wear trousers.

The PWS-branded uniform items are available online from Total Clothing Ltd, Peterborough.
