We believe it is important for all pupils to attend school smartly dressed in their school uniform. We believe uniform is important and can play a key role in:
- promoting the ethos of the school
- providing a sense of belonging and identity
- setting an appropriate tone for education

Headwear
Headwear is not part of the school uniform. Pupils may only wear headwear for religious reasons e.g. turbans. Please contact the Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher for further information on exemptions.
Optional Additional Sports Kit
Pupils and students can purchase additional items to wear alongside their PE and games kit and for any fixtures or training sessions. Please order direct with Kukri: Kukri Additional Optional Sports Kit.
Uniform Costs
We understand that uniform can be expensive and therefore we reviewed our uniform in November 2021.
To help reduce the cost for families we reduced the number of branded items required from one supplier and have also sought an additional supplier for our sports kit: Kukri Beechen Cliff Sports Kit.
We have also reduced the number of compulsory items of uniform, for example the mid-grey school trousers no longer need to be bought from a single supplier.
The blazers and shirts are good quality and therefore last a long time making them more cost effective. In addition, due to their durability, second hand uniform is widely available.
Second Hand Uniform
The Beechen Cliff PTA runs regular second hand uniform sales. More information on the PTA, including a contact for second hand uniform, is available from their webpage.
Pupil Premium
Students who are eligible for Pupil Premium are able to request financial support for school uniform. Requests should be made via email to the school.
For families that are not eligible for Pupil Premium but are experiencing financial difficulty then please contact the school in confidence and we will do our best to support where possible.
