Uniform

The school uniform is stocked at Peter Jones, Sloane Square SW1W 8EL. They have a dedicated school uniform team who will be able to advise you on what your daughter needs for her school and PE uniform. Please see the Schoolwear section of their website www.peterjones.co.uk for more information.

The school’s Guild also holds second-hand school uniform sales which are a more affordable way of obtaining the uniform. These take place on the Year 7 admissions day (usually in June) for Year 7 and at other times of the year for other Year groups. Please contact the school for more information if needed.
