Items of school uniform can be purchased from ‘Needles’, which is based on the Henmore Trading Estate, Ashbourne, DE6 1AS. A detailed uniform price list and order form can be viewed here.
Book bags, which are regularly used by children, are issued on entry to the school, free of charge.
All items of school wear, not just the above, should have a woven name label, as indelible ink wears off quickly with washing
