Uniform

Tor Bridge High expects all students to be ‘business’ smart and to wear their uniform with pride. Uniform helps to bind us together as one team and community, it contributes to a sense of equality and reduces distractions, helping students to concentrate on their studies. We appreciate your efforts in ensuring your children adhere to our uniform policy (full details and guidance can be found in the policy section of our school website).

If there is a reason that your child is struggling to follow our uniform policy, or if you are experiencing financial difficulties purchasing the uniform, please contact Student Services or your child's Head of Year. One of the pastoral team will be happy to support.

Nearly New Shop

We look to offer good quality secondhand items of school uniform at discounted prices. This is achieved through the generosity of parents and carers donating their children's uniforms. Stock is then checked and if we have the appropriate items, we can arrange for you to come into school to view and collect. We are unable to offer ad-hoc requests to come in due to staff availability. Please consider donating serviceable items of uniform that your child has outgrown. These can be left in Reception.
