Uniform Consultation and Review 2026 

Our review work around our uniform continues over the course of this half term, we will keep families updated as this progresses.  At present, there will be no notable change to the County uniform for September 2026.  Please see the uniform list link below for full details. 

Why we have a uniform

Students at County wear their uniform correctly, smartly and with pride, knowing that in this small act they demonstrate humility to their peers, recognising that they are all an equal part of the school, and that others’ health, happiness, and success is as important as their own.

What our uniform represents

Our uniform is formal and traditional, reflecting the value we place on providing a calm, stable and ordered environment in which children learn best.

The green in our school tie represents our place in the Surrey Hills, an environment of which we are proud.

Celebration and sanction around our uniform

Students tell us that they feel frustrated when their peers do not live up to our exacting standards around uniform and, for this reason, all adults in the school will remind students when these expectations are not met.

We make a point of celebrating students when they wear their uniform correctly, smartly and with pride. Where a student tries to accentuate their individual difference in their wearing of it, we will ask them to make corrections.  In the rare instances where students do not, sanctions may be issued, ranging from confiscations of non-uniform wear to detentions.

Like mobile phones, incorrect items of uniform will be confiscated, and parents will be asked to collect them at a mutually convenient time.  We accept no responsibility for the loss or damage of any items of value brought onto the school site.

If you have concerns about the cost of any new uniform, please contact your child’s tutor.

Lost Property

Please label everything – we are unable to provide a comprehensive lost and found service and expect your children to take ownership if they lose their possessions. We cannot be held responsible for items lost or damaged on the school site.

Second Hand Uniform Sales

The Friends of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ÊÓÆµ hold three Second Hand Uniform sales per year - one each term. The sales take place on a Saturday afternoon in the concert hall. We are grateful to our generous school community for donating clean, good condition uniform items that their young people have grown out of to sell at our very popular sales. We send out a request for uniform in the 3-4 weeks before a sale and our prices are advertised in advance with cash and card taken at the sales. Second Hand Uniform sales are a great way to recycle uniform items and raise money for the school. All money raised goes directly to fund school projects and purchases that benefit the school community.

To purchase County branded and other uniform items, please visit Stevensons.  You are also able to purchase appropriate non-branded items from other retailers. Please refer to the School and PE uniform lists for guidance.
