Standing Items

School Uniform

Cotham School students are expected to wear full school uniform at all times. This includes our school lanyard/student ID being worn around the neck and clearly visible at all times. It is also important for students to wear the correct items for PE and Dance lessons. May we also remind you to label your child’s uniform with your child’s name and tutor group to assist the prompt return of lost items.

Please see visual examples  of School Uniform and PE Kit on our website by  clicking on the links.

Our school uniform supplier is Monkhouse. Please visit their shop or website to view the approved skirts, shorts and trousers. Pre-loved uniform items are available from £1. Please call Visitor Reception 0117 919 8000 to enquire.

Monkhouse Schoolwear - Click and Collect

Monkhouse Schoolwear are having to suspend their Click and Collect service for approximately three weeks and have made sure to action this during their quietest time to minimise any disruption to parents.

Monkhouse recognise that parents value the ease and convenience of their newly upgraded website, and that their Click and Collect service has provided a cost-effective delivery option for them. However, during this suspension of the Click and Collect option, Monkhouse advise that parents visit them in-store if delivery cost is a concern.

Lost Property (Uniform) 

May we remind you to always label your child’s uniform with their name and Year Group as we are usually able to return any lost items if they are named.

School Shoes

Please can we remind parents/ carers that only all black leather (or leather look) shoes are permitted under our uniform policy. Shoes must fasten with laces, velcro or a buckle. Fabric, colour, bubbles in the soles or rubber toes are not allowed. Please bear this in mind when purchasing footwear for your child for the new school year. 

Nose Studs

Nose studs, rings and other facial piercings are completely banned at Cotham. Thank you for your support in not sending your child into school with a nose stud, nose ring or other facial piercing in September. Should this occur students will be asked to remove them immediately.  We will expect that they comply and that parents and carers will support us with this expectation.
