Senior School uniform and games kit guide 2026 to 2027
Uniform is an important aspect of school life, it provides a shared dress code which is intended to make clothing choices and daily decisions easier for all, a sense of belonging to the school community, a shared identity and gives pupils a smart appearance, putting them in the right frame of mind to learn
It is important to the school that whatever their identity, our students are comfortable in their uniform, that it is practical for what is demanded of them throughout the day and that they maintain a high standard both whilst on and off the school campus
Additionally, as all students will at some point participate in sports fixtures both on the school campus and at other school sites, it is equally important that sports/games kit looks smart and is all school branded sports clothing. All pupils should be in school uniform during lessons unless it is their games afternoon that day In these cases, pupils must wear official school sports kit
Pupils must wear full school uniform following preschool practices and before PE lessons, they do not need to change back into uniform after a PE lesson. Pupils who have games in the afternoon, can wear official Claremont games kit all day. If pupils are playing sport at lunch or after school they must change before these sessions
Please ensure all uniform, sports kit, equipment and stationery (including shoes and socks) are clearly named Perry Uniform offer a naming service for your convenience.
It is reasonable to expect that uniform will wear out due to how often it is worn, the considerable wear and tear of school life and how quickly our pupils grow during their time in the senior school Items should be replaced when they are worn/torn or if the pupil has outgrown them. For example, it is normal to expect trousers, school shoes and shirts to last around an academic year, blazers, skirts, games shorts or skorts and pullovers to last 2 academic years but this will vary from pupil to pupil

Hot weather dress code
(Years 7 to 11)
During hot weather, the Deputy Head (Pastoral) may introduce the hot weather dress code The amendments to normal uniform policy are as follows:
Male fit
Those pupils wearing male fit uniform will be permitted to roll up sleeves and remove ties and blazers.
Female fit
Those pupils wearing female fit uniform will be permitted to remove blazers and pullovers Socks as opposed to tights are recommended
SIXTH FORM - DRESS CODE
The sixth form dress code reflects the values of our school. A student’s adherence to the dress code demonstrates respect for the ethos and learning environment.
Through appropriate dress, sixth form students act as role-models for younger pupils and ambassadors for the school The school’s expectations are that students in Year 12 and 13 understand that the sixth form is a serious learning environment and that they take a mature and responsible approach towards how they present themselves. This ensures that their time with us is focused on reaching their goals for life beyond Claremont.
Having a smart dress code is not about dictating what you should and should not wear, it is about maintaining a professional appearance and mindset so that we can clearly separate our working week from our personal leisure and relaxation time. An additional benefit is the fact that students will have a good understanding of what to wear for university interviews, job interviews and apprenticeship assessments.
