The school policy on uniform is designed to enable students to dress appropriately for work at school, without undue cost being involved.  Taking pride in their appearance and demonstrating respect for the values of the school is very important to our students.  Uniform must be worn by all students whilst in attendance at the school, on the way to and from school and on all school visits unless the executive headteacher has given prior permission to the contrary. 

The uniform is available from Leopard Boutique in Wroxham.

There are a number of options available to enable families to get the uniform they require as easily, and cost efficiently, as possible:

• Try on sizes will be available at reception in all of our three schools (John of Gaunt Infant and Nursery School, Bure Valley School and Aylsham High School)
• Orders can be made online at: https://leopardboutiqueinabox.myshopify.com
• Orders made online can be collected in store or posted to your preferred address for a small charge.  Alternatively deliveries will be made for collection from the schools once a week (you will need to phone on 01603 781 224 to arrange this option)

It is advisable to order uniform in plenty of time before your child starts school or requires replacement items.  Badges purchased for blazers bought from other retailers can be obtained from our finance office. The Friends of Aylsham High School also run a shop for the sale of pre-owned items of school uniform.  The executive headteacher reserves the right to isolate any student who is wearing any garment which the executive headteacher and senior staff consider unsuitable for school.
