School Uniform
From September 2010 we will be introducing a new uniform. All items are available to purchase online directly from our school shop >>>
In choosing to come to Dorothy Stringer, parents and pupils 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.
A pupil 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.
