Uniform

Our school colours are navy and gold with grey.

Items of uniform can be ordered through AnyWear Ltd (formally Garbmann). They can either deliver direct to home addresses for a charge, or they deliver once a month to the school free of charge, usually on the last Friday of the month.

Pupil Premium children are offered a free school hoodie.

The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) have also set up an online facility where second hand uniform can be purchased; please visit their Uniformerly website here. Any items purchased will be delivered to the school office for collection. If you experience any problems when ordering uniform via the Uniformerly website, please email ccnmpta.uniform@gmail.com.

It is important that children come to school well presented and in the correct school uniform. We have worked hard to ensure that the cost of uniform is reasonable, with few branded items. 

On days when children have PE or attend a school sports club, they must wear their PE kits. On every other day they should wear their normal uniform. All uniform should be named, but it is vital that hoodies, sweatshirts, cardigans, and any coats the children bring in, are clearly named with the child’s full name. Unnamed lost property is disposed of.
