We Wear Our Uniform With Pride
Uniform is an important part of a school’s identity. By choosing to send your child to Holy Cross, you are choosing to adhere to our uniform policy. Our uniform reinforces who we are as a community and helps enable our pupils to feel pride in their school. It ensures pupils are not put under any pressure because of the type of clothes they wear and promotes equality. We wear our uniform with pride and thank you for ensuring your children are properly equipped for the school day.

We use The Big Wight T-Shirt Company https://www.bigwight.com/ as an affordable supplier of our school items with logos.
However, the majority of our items can be obtained more widely from ‘high street’ retailers and larger supermarkets.
