Pre-Preparatory and Preparatory School Uniform List
Prep School Uniform List
Our School is proud of its commitment to equality and diversity among all its members. We support all our pupils, prospective pupils, staff, parents, carers, guardians and other stakeholders.
In the workings of everyday School life, the School, its staff and pupils seek specific opportunities to promote equality and celebrate diversity with open mindedness, tolerance and respect. This applies to the School’s approach to uniform.
The following list sets out the required uniform items for children in the Prep School. In order to recognise and support a range of gender identities, the School provides choice within the parameters of the prescribed uniform. Please contact the School Shop for advice: https://shop.bedes.org/
