Blazers should be worn at all times, unless permission is given to remove them in very hot weather.

In 2021 there was a minor change to the BGS badge as part of our move to the new building to reflect the environmentally friendliness of the structure.  The change is small and is reflected in the beech tree (with our link to Burnham Beeches) becoming green rather than the current yellow.  This very slight change will be seen on new uniform items as stock is replaced.  Both badges are acceptable at BGS and there will not be any requirement to change any current uniform.  Families will still be able to "hand down" items of clothing to younger members or make use of the second-hand clothing website at uniformerly.co.uk. 


Please contact Admissions (admissions@burnhamgrammar.org.uk) to report any difficulties regarding uniform supplies that you have and this information will be passed onto Mr Lennon who manages the relationship with SWI.


BGS Uniformerly Information - Second Hand Uniform 

We are very much aware that many of our current students’ families may have old uniform at home which is now too small for their children and is taking up space in homes and could perhaps be put to better use with someone else. 

We are also aware that budgets are tight and families looking to acquire new school uniform are experiencing challenges at times to purchase everything needed; particularly with growing teenagers! 

BGS has therefore researched opportunities to try to support families and we are pleased to announce that we will be linking with Uniformerly, which is an online website specialising in second-hand school uniform sales. Please follow the link below to our uniform page where you can find the uniform list and further information about Uniformerly
