School Uniform


School uniform is an important part of our identity as a school, we ask that all girls observe the dress code throughout the year. Please see below our uniform lists.

Uniform is available from the School Uniform Suppliers – School Shop Direct.

School Shop Direct

The Friends of Adcote Second-Hand Uniform Shop

The Friends of Adcote Second Hand School Uniform Shop is a thriving shop with a huge stock of really good quality items of uniform all sold at half the new price.  We have often provided girls will all the things that they need to have a complete school uniform.

We always welcome donations of used uniform no matter what quality, only good quality clothes will be sold as uniform and the rest can be used for a number of other things.  Most recently any damaged uniform has been turned into Adcote school bears for sale as momentos of happy school days.

Opening hours vary each term and are advertised each term on The Friends of Adcote Facebook page.  If you cannot get to the shop when we are open we are always more than happy to make an appointment to see you at another suitable time.

Appointments can be made by contacting Caroline James via our email, cherished@adcoteschool.co.uk.

Please note: Summer uniform can be worn from the start of the Summer Term but will be compulsory once informed by the Headmistress. Children are to return to school in September in their  winter uniform (unless otherwise informed by the Headmistress).
