We expect our students to wear their College uniform with pride.  It was designed by the College's Student Council and represents our students’ commitment to their school, as well as preparing students for the expectations of the world of work.  School uniform indicates a commitment to the shared ideals of the College and promotes equality in a very visible and easily understood way.  As such, we expect the support of parents and carers in ensuring high standards of uniform in the College.   

Full details of the College’s uniform expectations are included in the uniform booklet at the bottom of this page.  Please ensure you are familiar with this before purchasing any items.

Some items can only be purchased from the uniform shop based within the College.  These are blazers, skirts, ties, PE tops and bottoms, rugby shirts, and PE socks.   

 

ORDERING UNIFORM ITEMS

**Please note that uniform orders will not be processed during most school holidays as the College is closed and staff are on leave during this time.**

Uniform and PE kit can be ordered and purchased by credit or debit card via our online Uniform Shop at: The Spires College Uniform Shop.

Not sure about what size you need?  Please see the guidance on our supplier's website: how to measure your child.  We ask that you help us to reduce workload by checking the size guide and keeping returns to a minimum.

Our online Uniform Shop uses the ParentPay system to facilitate credit and debit card payments but this is a standalone system and is not linked to individual's ParentPay accounts.  Uniform orders or payments cannot be made via your own ParentPay account.

If you are unable to use the online shop, please get in touch using the contact details at the foot of this page.

Students can purchase replacement ties from our Finance Office (room 1108) before or after College, during registration (once registered), and at break or lunch times on any school day.
