School Uniform
Please Note: All items are available to purchase online directly from our School Shop >>
In choosing to come to Dorothy Stringer, parents and students accept the fact that we believe the wearing of school uniform is important. Parents are, therefore, requested to provide the correct clothing as set out below. Clothes are expensive and parents are asked to make sure that all items are clearly marked. This makes identification easy when items are lost.
Students should bring an explanatory note from home to explain any emergency uniform situations. The explanatory note should be handed in to and kept by either the Form Tutor or the Head of Year.
