The uniform is no longer Summer or Winter, the uniform is cross-seasonal, and children/families can dress in accordance with the weather. There will be no official swap over time announced by the school.

Winter tunics can still be purchased by families in Years 1-6 while stock lasts. New tunics can be purchased from the School and a limited supply of second hand tunics can be purchased from the Sustainable Uniform shop at school via Qkr.
