This page looks at College uniform and equipment needed for students.
Uniform
School uniform and PE kit can be purchased from Jay Max (in store) and Whittakers Schoolwear (in store or online).
Uniform, Footwear and Essential Equipment
We believe that all students should attend College smartly dressed in a distinctive way and we expect all our students to correctly wear clothes and shoes specified in our Uniform Policy that can be found on this page.
The College approved dress code, as detailed in the College Uniform Policy, should be followed at all times when in College or when representing the College. Adhering to a smart dress code symbolises good standards and, in preparing young people for the world of work, allows them to recognise the need for appropriate dress.
