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.

Uniform lists for all parts of the school are available to download from the links in the right hand margin of this page.

The Prep School and Pre-Prep have Summer and Winter variations to the children’s uniform, which are worn as follows.

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.
