Items of school uniform are available from Barretts in Southbourne and we hold a sale of good second hand clothing in early July. Bournemouth School may be able to offer assistance towards the cost of the basic clothing needs of a pupil where the family receives an income-related employment and support allowance.

Uniform - Years 12 & 13
Unlike many schools, we do have a formal uniform for Sixth Form. Our students enjoy taking pride in their appearance and we find that they appreciate the respect and the discipline this imposes.
Suit	Smart business suit (lounge suit). In practice, most Sixth Formers choose to avoid selecting a grey suit since that is the colour worn by Years 7 to 11.
Shirt	With collar to match the business suit.
Tie	Sixth Form House tie
Shoes	Smart shoes to match the business suit (no trainers or boots).
Jewellery	Sixth Form students only may only have one piercing per ear, with no other piercings. All jewellery should be subtle and match the image of the smart business suit. Students may be required to remove jewellery for sport or for some technical subjects, for Health and Safety reasons.
Hair	Hair should be clean, neat and tidy.
