SCHOOL UNIFORM

The Grove School has a uniform and it is the policy of Governors and the school management that it is worn, correctly, by all students.

Many items of the school uniform are widely available in local shops and the market, as well as from the major stores in nearby towns.  Sweatshirts and polo shirts carry the school logo and need to be purchased directly from Trutex via mail order.  Brochures will be available from school.
