Uniform
Please see below an important message from our uniform supplier:
Thank you for your patience and consideration whilst shopping with us in these challenging times.
We have extended our hours and have put measures in place which strictly adhere to the government guidelines on social distancing to ensure everyone is safe!
Please take the time to read our Covid-19 policies:
- Online Ordering - If you already know the sizes of the uniform please use our online ordering system at www.steadyschoolwear.co.uk - Please allow 14 working days for the order to be shipped safely by courier to your designated home address. Please check the ‘Measuring and Size Guide’ page on our website to help measure your child correctly. Please ensure to check our refunds and exchange policy before you make your purchase.
- Customers may shop in maximum parties of 2; but only when this consists of 1 adult and 1 pupil. This means that we will only allow the following parties into the shop; 1 singular pupil, 1 singular adult OR 1 adult shopping with 1 pupil. If you have more than one child attending the school then this is also ok with one adult only.
- Customer limits in the shop – We will only be allowed to have a certain amount of customers in the shop as per the government guidelines.
- A queuing system will be implemented outside of the shop with floor markings to help customers keep a 2m distance between each other.
- We will have a separate Entrance and Exit door to minimise contact – all signs will be made visible.
- Perspex screens are in place at the tills and we encourage contactless payments where possible. All staff are provided with Personal Protective Equipment.
- We will be adhering to government guidelines to close changing rooms to prevent the spread of Covid-19 between pupils trying on the same garments. We appreciate that this will be difficult for parents, so we are politely requesting that where possible parents could have their sizes ready when entering the shop. We have attached a sizing guide to help.
TOP TIP – If parents/guardians could check what sizing their child is currently wearing then this will help us to choose the correct size for the pupil much more quickly.
- Staff will also be on hand to assist with sizing.
Thank you for your cooperation in these unusual times. Our staff will be here to help and guide you through the purchase of the uniform, to make this process as smooth as possible despite the circumstances. We will monitor the situation closely as the guidelines are likely to change throughout the summer.

Logo
Skirts and trousers purchased from the uniform shop will automatically have the logo attached. Skirts and trousers purchased from any other retailer need to be approved by the school and we will then arrange for the logo to be attached at the small cost of 20p per logo, per item. We must see the child wearing the garments in order to approve them. Until the point that garments have been approved please retain all receipts.
We offer an extensive number of dates when children, accompanied by parents if you prefer, can get trousers and skirts approved. We send regular updates to parents of these dates, however for a list of approval dates, please contact reception.
