Uniform
“ Having a real sense of belonging to your new school is important. Our students are proud to be part of Royal High School and wearing our uniform is a symbol of that pride. ”
The Prep School (Nursery to Year 6) and Senior School (Year 7 to Year 11) have official uniforms which can be purchased directly from our supplier or from the on-site uniform shop. Sports kit must be worn for PE lessons. We ask that girls take responsibility for attending school looking smart and adhere to all rules about uniform, including rules regarding jewellery, hair and footwear. All items must be fully and clearly named.
The new shop is open on Tuesday and Thursday in term time from 12.30-4.30pm and occasional Saturday mornings as advertised on the school’s website and in the weekly newsletter.
