School Uniform
Full details of our uniform policy is available here.
We ask that you support your child by supporting our policy to ensure that they get off to a positive start in September by having the correct uniform available to them and that they come to school every day wearing the correct uniform. In addition, please do not allow your child to colour their hair, get acrylic nails or facial piercings during the holidays.
Uniforms can be purchased in store at the Emblematic shop in Morpeth. Please remember that they are now located at 59a Bridge Street, NE61 1PQ. Alternatively, you can order online at http://www.emblematic.co.uk/. Emblematic ask that all online orders are made before 1 August to ensure that all orders are received before school recommences in September.
Please find time before September to sit down with your child to review the Parent/Carer Handbook. This will remind you and your child of all of the information that you need before starting the new academic year.
Equipment
We expect students to bring the following to school:
- School bag
- School planner (which we will give out on the first day)
- Books/folders for that days subject(s)
- Pencil case with pen, pencil, ruler, rubber and calculator
- Reading book
- Packed lunch and water bottle or ensure money is on MCAS
Road Safety
Please can we remind parents that students should be dropped off in Morpeth, so that they can walk up Cottingwood Lane in the morning. In order to minimise the risk to our students, parents should not drive up Cottingwood Lane either before or after school.
