School Uniform Expectations

The Preston Manor uniform is an important part of the culture and ethos of our school.   High standards of dress are expected at all times and students must come to school every day in neat, clean uniform as an indication that they take pride in belonging to the Preston Manor School community. It is important that all students present themselves in an appropriate way that embraces professional dress and prepares them for the wider world. Whenever the school uniform is worn, it must be complete and not mixed with non-uniform clothing.   

You are able to purchase uniform using this link

Please check the list below before making any uniform purchases.  In addition, please see the contents of your planner which also details the uniform requirements. 

If you have a missing item of uniform, you must have a note signed by your parent/carer and we will aim to loan the items you require for one day only.  Any period of time beyond one day may not be authorised. If no note is provided, your parent/carer will be contacted and you may be sent home to collect the missing/correct piece of uniform.

We have a small stock of spare uniform. If we have the correct size you will be expected to borrow the relevant item.

A summary of expectations is provided below 

  For all students 

  • school shoes must be plain black leather or leather look (no canvas or shiny patent materials).  Kicker shoes are permitted as long as they are black and do not have contrasting stitching, laces or soles. No canvas shoes.
