Please be aware that we at St Peter’s High School have changed our School Uniform. The new uniform is obligatory for all New Year 7 students in September 2008 and compulsory for the rest of students by September 2009. Click here for details of the new uniform.

Our school uniform policy requires on the support of parents. However, the ‘contract’ between the school and parents makes it clear that parents are obliged to provide the required school uniform as set out below. All students are required to wear regulation PE uniform for all PE and Sports which must be purchased from the official school suppliers.

Students are expected to wear their uniform with pride. Students are to travel to and from school in the correct school uniform and to wear it appropriately during the school day and at all school functions.
