Uniform
High standards of appearance are part of the culture at Stafford Grammar School.
Smart appearance reflects our values as a school and the expectation that pupils are committed wholeheartedly to all aspects of school life.
For individual comfort, practicality and smartness of appearance, our uniform is designed to provide clothing options that are suitable for seasonal changes and we have a winter and summer uniform. Sixth Form pupils are given more independence, but there are still uniform expectations and guidelines to ensure they look smart.
