UNIFORM GUIDE
INTRODUCTION
Amesbury School introduced a new daywear uniform in September 2023, the supplier is Schoolblazer and everything is designed to be easy to source online. Sportswear is supplied by Serious Stuff and can either be accessed online or by making an appointment to visit. Both uniforms are quality, durable and designed to be very comfortable.
Second-hand uniform is available, details of opening dates and times are published in the school newsletter, or please emai: SHU@amesburyschool.co.uk
The guide is designed to help parents understand which items are essential and when they should be worn. Amesbury is not super strict on uniform, if a child has a strong preference for an item of clothing, we do not punish a child for wearing ‘the wrong thing’. We are aiming for children to be kitted out in wearable clothes they can learn and move in, and feel comfortable. We are also aiming to teach them how to dress for sport, or on special occasions, and how to look after their belongings.
If you have any questions that remain unanswered, please email: admissions@amesburyschool.co.uk
