Uniform

We are proud of our students and how they represent the Ferndown Family when in uniform and encourage students to take pride in their appearance.

Our students have an option of uniform A or B – these are not gender specific. We do not however mix and match between uniform A and B – it is a choice of one or the other.

Our school uniform must be worn when coming to school and going home from school, and during lessons. All students must ensure that their uniform is correct and smart.

The uniform is worn all year, with the option of black knee length tailored shorts to replace the skirt or trousers in Summer Term 2. The Uniform A and B tabs below for each uniform information show if clothing is mandatory or optional and costs.
