Frederick Gent School believes that uniform plays a valuable role in contributing to the ethos of the school and setting an appropriate tone. It is our policy that all students should wear school uniform when attending school, or when participating in a school organised event outside normal school hours. A complete list of compulsory school logo branded items, compulsory non-branded items and optional items of uniform is included below.
We believe that a school uniform:
We ask all families who send their children to our school to support the school uniform policy. Any family facing hardship or with a child eligible for Free School Meals, and for whom compulsory items of uniform would represent an unmanageable cost, are also invited to approach either the students Achievement Leader or Achievement Leader Support Assistant as the school may be able to assist with the purchase.
From Monday 18th May 2026 we now have joint suppliers of uniform for Frederick Gent School. We hope this flexibility will help support parent needs and ensure best value.
On Monday 27th July the next uniform pop-up shop with our supplier Morleys School Wear will be located at the Post Mill Centre 10-4pm. No appointment needed. You will be able to purchase and order any uniform you require. This event will be particularly useful to those starting with us in September from Year 6 although all year groups are welcome. Get September ready for uniform!

Non branded items of uniform can be purchased from high street suppliers, as long as they reflect the schools uniform policy and standards. We would remind families that not all items, on the high street which is marketed as school uniform will comply with our school uniform policy which must be considered when purchasing any items.
Any student who is wearing non-regulation uniform will be expected to comply with the dress code by ensuring appropriate uniform is worn. Families will be contacted to inform them of any issues. We hope that this is clear so that the wasted expense of purchasing inappropriate school uniform for the school year is avoided. Please don’t hesitate to contact the relevant Achievement Leader prior to purchasing any school uniform if you should require any further clarification.
If students experience any issues with their school uniform, they are welcome to go to Student Reception to borrow a uniform for the day.
If families are facing difficulties purchasing school uniform, students can speak to staff at Student Reception for support, or parents/carers can contact their child’s pastoral team to discuss available assistance.
We also welcome donations of good-quality second-hand school uniform. These items help support other students within our school community.
All uniform items are thoroughly washed after use, and we regularly restock with new items to ensure a clean and presentable supply for those in need.
If you would like to donate, please drop off items at the School Reception, or your child may take them to Student Reception.
