We expect our students to wear their College uniform with pride. It was designed by the College Council and represents our students’ commitment to their College, 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. The Spires College takes uniform very seriously and 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 college uniform shop. These are blazers, skirts, ties, PE polo shirts, PE shorts, PE fleeces, PE track pants, rugby shirts, sports leggings and PE socks.   

Please be aware that, during exam season, access to the room in which the Uniform Shop is located is limited. Therefore, although the team will endeavour to process orders as quickly as possible, there may be delays during this time. This situation is beyond their control; please be patient with staff who look after the Uniform Shop. 

ORDERING UNIFORM ITEMS

**Please note that uniform orders will not be processed during the Christmas break as our uniform shop is within college.  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.

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 can't be made via your own ParentPay account.

If you are unable to use the online shop, please contact our Uniform Shop. Contact details are below.

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.
