Compulsory Items & Suppliers
In line with government guidelines we have reviewed and reduced the number of items parents have to buy from one supplier. We appreciate some parents like the ease of getting everything in the same shops, however for those on a budget there are plenty of items that can be sourced elsewhere – as long as they follow the general guidelines.

Trousers Buying Key Points (Boys' & Girls')
When buying trousers, look for the words: Tailored, Bootcut or Regular (without charms or jeans style metal studs). They need to be loose fitting particularly around and below the knee.
Avoid buying any trousers with these terms:-
- ‘Tapered’ - they will be shorter than acceptable and too tight at the ankle
- ‘Cropped’ – they will be ankle length and therefore too short
- ‘Skinny’ or ‘slim fit’– these will be far too tight, both at the thigh and ankle
- ‘Jeggings’ – basically thick leggings.

Shoes
Boys' and girls' shoes must be formal style and polishable, plain, black shoes (no boots, trainers or canvas shoes). Inevitably shoe manufacturers develop and market as school shoes, styles which circumnavigate this description i.e. introducing informal style, leather, black pumps and it can be confusing as to which are acceptable.
To avoid confusion, please see the examples below. The acceptable styles are available from a wide range of different suppliers. Inevitably we can't show images of all shoe styles but hopefully this selection of images will avoid unacceptable styles being purchased.
