Uniform

The school colours (burgundy and gold) and the logo are based on the original Chichele School colours.

Henry Chichele (a former Archbishop of Canterbury, who came from Higham Ferrers) founded All Souls College in Oxford, and we have gained permission from the college to use the Henry Chichele Coat of Arms.

The school governors have taken the decision to provide a simple, smart and cost-effective uniform for all children with a limited number of garments required to be purchased from the nominated supplier*. The vast majority can therefore be purchased from major supermarkets. The basic uniform is:

It is not permitted for any child to wear make up or nail varnish to school.
