Uniform
As a school we are part of a professional working and learning environment therefore our attire should reflect this. Students are expected to arrive and leave school in full uniform as they continue to represent the school.
The Governors are of the opinion that uniform standards are very important indeed and it is their policy that students are required to be dressed according to the following lists.
All items of uniform and sportswear can be obtained at highly competitive prices in the School Shop (Tel: 01297 445435). We aim to ensure that the cost of our school uniform is reasonable and secures the best value for parents/carers. Second-hand/preloved uniforms are available. Please contact ptfa.preloveduniform@woodroffe.dorset.sch.uk.
