Uniform

Families can buy items without logos from a range of regular retailers, including most supermarkets. The school limits any items with distinctive characteristics where possible and the logoed jumper is optional – standard royal blue jumpers/cardigan/fleeces are absolutely acceptable without a logo.

KealTeamwearFor families who wish to purchase them, book bags and uniform with the school logo (sweatshirts, cardigans, fleeces and polo shirts) are available from Keal Teamwear, Walmgate, York.

The Friends of Lord Deramore’s (our parent/carer association) has a large number of second hand, good quality uniform items. These are available at a small donation charge or free for families who are in financial difficulty.

Please ensure that all items are named to help us win the battle with lost property!

Why do we have a uniform

  • Maintains students’ self-esteem because they do not have to compete in a fashion show every day!
  • Improves learning through less distraction
  • Promotes a sense of Team
  • Increases school spirit and identity
  • Improves behaviour
  • Saves families’ time and money by purchasing key uniform items through school
  • Identifies our children outside school on visits/events.
