From Ms Allum

I am very excited to announce that we are introducing the option of pants for the winter uniform, in addition to the current tunic option. We have listened to the girls who have asked for this option and think that this is an exciting way forward. (I know it has taken us a few years to get the design right, but I am thrilled with the final product). You can see some pictures of the uniform below – click on each one to get the full photo.

The wool blend pants are available to be purchased from today and worn as part of the winter uniform when we change over to the winter uniform on 4 May. Details about how you can purchase the pants and to book a fitting time are available here. 

In the Secondary School, we are introducing a new shirt to be worn with the pants. It is a striped shirt, and we think it looks smarter than a plain white shirt with the pants. The Primary School will continue to wear their current winter shirt.

There will be some guidelines around how this new uniform item is to be worn.

The shirt is designed to be worn without a tie and without any badges. Outside the School grounds (e.g. travelling to and from school), girls must wear their school blazer over the shirt and pants (and possibly in a handful of other very formal occasions too). Within the school grounds, any combination of the vest, jumper, cardigan or blazer with the striped shirt is acceptable.

Girls have the option of wearing their shirt either tucked into the pants, or untucked if they would prefer.

Sustainable production

In keeping with our commitment to be a more sustainable school, we have sourced a fabric for the shirt that is a polycotton blend. The polyester is 100% recycled, and the Cotton is 100%  BCI (Better Cotton Initiative), sourced from ethical suppliers and meeting very strict guidelines regarding farming practices, environmental procedures and sustainability. 

Like all items of the SCEGGS uniform, I have no doubt that girls will wear this with care as proud members of the SCEGGS community!
