Our school has a duty to make sure that the uniform we require is affordable, in line with statutory guidance from the Department for Education on the cost of school uniform. 

We will make sure our uniform:

• Is available at a reasonable cost.
• Provides the best value for money for families.

The uniform policy for our school has been created so that it can be purchased from many different retailers, including charity and second hand providers, so that it gives value for money for parents and carers and it is readily available. The uniform does not need to have the school's logo on and many of the items that are available with a logo are an optional choice.

• School logo polo shirts, sweatshirts, cardigans and school coats are only available from Total Sport, Hendon Road, Sunderland.
• Most supermarkets generally provide a range of school uniform items, including footwear, which are in line with the school’s uniform policy. 
• We also have a range of good quality pre-loved uniform at the school office, that we can give out to parents/carers who may need them due to finance, children growing so quickly or nearing the end of the school term/year.  Please do not hesitate to ask at the school office.

Children in the nursery, who are not yet of statutory school age can wear the same jumpers/cardigans, but with a white polo shirt/tie instead of dress shirt.
