UNIFORM
Dear Parents and Carers,
Following our recent consultation regarding changes to our school uniform, the uniform expectations are as follows:
PE Kit
- Introduction of a more technical fabric that is dry-fit and better suited to physical activity
- A new track suit, top and shorts that are unisex to allow family members to more easily pass on items of clothing
Main School Uniform
- Charcoal Grey trousers become the only colour permitted, further distinguishing the All Saints uniform from those worn by other local schools
- Ensuring equality by allowing all students to wear school trousers
Implementation
These changes took effect from September 2024 and they will be compulsory for all new Year 7 students joining the school. For students in Years 8 to 11, a one-year transition period will be permitted to give families time to adjust to the new uniform requirements (ending September 2025).
UNIFORM DETAILS & REGULATIONS Year 7-11
“We are all one in Christ, our mission and our responsibility is to recognize all individuals in our community as part of the body of Christ and to value them accordingly in our treatment of them, thriving and progressing in a spirit of togetherness”

Sixth Form
You will be aware the wearing of our school uniform in years 7-11 is an integral part of the school ethos of promoting high standards, positive attitudes and a sense of personal pride. To help maintain this into Sixth Form, students will be expected to also wear uniform which can be seen in our 6th Form pages on this website https://www.allsaintsschool.co.uk/sixth-form/sixth-form-life/dress-code/
