The wearing of school uniform at Britannica is compulsory
School uniform encourages a sense of unity and common purpose; a particularly important consideration as we endeavour to welcome students from a wide variety of countries and provide them with a true sense of belonging.
Our Provider
Our school uniform provider is Trutex.
Partnering with Trutex means we are using a very eco-friendly supplier, with warehouses in the EU from which our uniform will be transported, rather than from the UK, thus eliminating any issues around import costs, post Britain leaving the EU.
Uniform Code
Summer uniform should be worn from Easter to the October half-term holiday. Winter uniform is worn from the October half-term holiday to Easter.
Please ensure all of your child's belongings, especially uniform items, are clearly labelled with their name, in case it gets misplaced and needs to be returned to its rightful owner.
