Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get the right size of uniform? A full sizing guide is on the website, please use this. We have also found that when buying High School uniform, parents should check the size of blazer needed using the sizing guide and then buy a one size bigger for the jumper. So, if the blazer needed is 35 inches, the jumper should be 36 inches.

Can I return/exchange my uniform if it does not fit? Yes, returns will be accepted

Do I need a ParentPay account? Not to purchase uniform, you will be directed to our online shop and can pay by card. You will still need to create a ParentPay account however as we are a cashless academy. New starters will be given ParentPay details in September.

Can I pay by cash? No, we are a cashless school and all payments are made through ParentPay
