Uniform

The S. Anselm’s uniform is a central part of our school’s culture and we encourage all pupils to take pride in their appearance and value the sense of identity that their uniform provides.

Parents are asked to ensure that all clothing – including shoes – is clean, in a good state of repair and clearly labelled with your child’s initials. Please note that all clothes and towels should be labelled with sew-on name labels only.

Bath towels (not bath sheets) for boarding and sports should be looped in the middle of the long side, with a name label sewn in one corner.
