Thomas Alleyne’s School Uniform We ask for parents' support in ensuring all students wear the correct school uniform as it can play a key role in:
By creating a common identity amongst all our pupils, regardless of background, school uniform can act as a social leveller. It can reduce bullying and peer pressure to wear the latest fashions or other expensive clothes. It is important for us that the uniform is not too expensive and that it does not place an unreasonable burden on families. Therefore, we do not insist that all families use the same supplier. Second-hand uniforms are available to acquire in school. Please speak to your Head of House for further details. We always appreciate donations of good quality school uniform to add to our supplies.
Purchasing details: If you wish to use our school supplier to purchase several uniform items these can be ordered for the Schoolsin (formerly Trutex) website www.schoolsinuniform.co.uk either online or by visiting the shop. The Schoolsin shop opening hours are: Monday to Saturday 9.30am to 5.00pm The delivery options if you purchase online are:
The Schoolsin shop is located at:
However, if you wish to purchase plain black trousers, a skirt or blazer from another supplier, you will only require a school tie and blazer badges. These can be bought from our Thomas Alleyne’s online shop. https://app.parentpay.com/ParentPayShop/Uniform/Default.aspx?shopid=307 Your child will be able to collect the items on their first day at school in the Autumn Term. Alternatively, if your child attends Thomas Alleyne’s or has a sibling here, they can collect ties and badges from the Pupil Support and Welfare Officer for their house after showing a receipt to them. Please complete this purchase before the close of school in the summer term. |
