Information about School Uniform
The Downside uniform is very popular with pupils: everyone adores the thick woollen blazers, with boys in traditional pinstripe trousers and girls in a popular tartan kilt or, optionally for the Sixth Form, pinstripe trousers.
Uniform can be bought online or purchased in the School Shop. All uniform must be ordered prior to the start of term. If placing orders online for more than one child, please complete separate orders for each to avoid confusion.
Before you start, please read the girls / boys uniform booklets thoroughly to familiarise yourself with the full list.
