Preloved Uniform

Our preloved scheme has been a real success in helping provide uniform items for students whose families are struggling financially with the current cost of living crisis.

If you require any items of uniform, please fill in the Google Docs form here, stating item/items and size required. While we can’t always guarantee to have every item requested, they are constantly coming into school so we will always strive to meet your requirements. The preloved items are professionally laundered so we ask if possible for any small voluntary donation towards laundering costs.

Any queries, please contact Kelly McLean at kmclean@conyers.org.uk.

School Uniform

The wearing of school uniform can be a most important factor in developing and maintaining a school spirit, in creating tidiness and freeing the school society from the differences which dress can make. It is also a protection against constantly changing fashion and unnecessary expense. All students are expected to wear uniform in which there is an element of choice.

Should students arrive at school wearing inappropriate uniform, they will be required to wear school issue garments, which are clean and stored in the Student Support Centre.

If there is a genuine issue with your child’s uniform, please contact their Year Manager to discuss the matter.

Thank you for your support and co-operation in maintaining our uniform standards.

Conyers School PE Uniform

The existing school PE uniform is a valid uniform for 2022/23 and continues to be stocked at Ross’s. However, all parents should be aware that the school is moving to the new style of PE kit, which is available from both suppliers. 

Both styles of PE uniform are allowed to be worn in school during 2022/23 but the older style will be phased out for the beginning of the 2023/24 academic year.

Students will continue to wear school PE uniform on the days that they have timetabled PE in 2022/23.

Students must bring full school uniform to change into if they attend an extra curricular activity on a day they do not have timetabled PE.

Variations on colour are not permitted, items must be navy, and students are not allowed to wear hoodies.
