School Uniform Guidance

The school’s Governing Body and Senior Leaders agree that the main priority is that pupils attend school happy and comfortably.  Therefore, we do not have a specific uniform policy and follow a more flexible approach.

Note: We will not allow anything that is offensive or deemed inappropriate.

We do recognise that there are many benefits to wearing a school uniform:

• It provides a sense of belonging and identify
• It sets an appropriate tone for education
• It promotes our school that we are proud of
• Therefore, we encourage our pupils to wear our uniform wherever possible.

What To Wear

To provide flexibility and hopefully comfort, there are many uniform options available and these are not gender specific.  The uniform was chosen by our school council back in 2017.

Our Uniform

Pupils can wear the logo sweatshirt or cardigans in jade green or burgundy.  A hoodie is also available in burgundy.  This can be worn with black or grey trousers, dresses, skirts or shorts, along with a white or black polo shirt or t-shirt. For more snappy dressers, a burgundy tie is available to wear with a white shirt.  This can be accompanied by a black blazer.  For footwear, black shoes or trainers are preferred. 

We would prefer jewellery to be kept to a minimum due to the risk of becoming lost or causing a health and safety risk.  Religious jewellery is allowed.

Where Can I Buy It?

Uniform purchased from Term Time Wear (see details below) can have the Southgate School Logo on. For the sake of cost and to make it easier, any uniform can be work without the logo. 

To support with costs, we work with The Uniform Exchange and also keep a bank of spare uniform in school which can be made available on request.

Our school uniform is available from:
