Our School Uniform
Uniform Expectations
As a student at Cotham School you are expected to wear full school uniform, including your school lanyard. It is also important to wear the correct PE / Games and Dance kit. Our school uniform suppliers are Monkhouse and Harris Sports. Please visit their shops or websites to view the approved skirts and trousers.
The school rules will be enforced according to the Uniform Policy. Examples of suitable uniform can be found on the website. May we remind you to always label your child’s uniform with their child’s name and Year/Tutor Group.
Pre-loved School Uniform Donations and Sales
A very big thank you to the Parent/Carers that have donated items of pre-loved uniform, your donations are most welcome. If you wish to donate uniform both the Main/Visitor and Student Receptionists are very happy to receive your donations. If you wish to purchase a pre-loved uniform please call our Main/ Visitor Reception in advance to say you wish to come in and to see what we have in stock. Items are £1 each - cash only please. School trousers and skirts are available and there is no charge for these items.
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.
