Dress Policy
The Governors and staff at Lord Grey School believe that the wearing of a distinctive school dress makes an important contribution to the tone and reputation of the school; gives students a sense of belonging, and stops students coming to school in clothes which are unsuitable for school. Sixth Form students do not wear uniform but are expected to wear appropriate clothes for school, which is based on the concept of smart office wear.
Students will be expected to wear:
The condition of student entry to classes is the wearing of full school uniform. We are a uniformed school and thus uniform is non negotiable.
- Smart collared white shirt/blouse (long sleeved)
- Black tailored skirt/trousers
- Black v-neck House sleeveless jumper
- Appropriate House school tie
- Sensible black shoes with dark laces
- Skin tone or black tights (not footless)
- Socks – dark/plain in colour
- Green blazer with school supplied House pin
- Dark/plain outdoor jacket/coat
Summer Uniform

- Smart collared white shirt/blouse, long or short sleeved (NOT a polo shirt)
