Uniform2021

At Manor School we firmly believe that a school uniform helps to instil pride, supports positive behaviour and discipline, and encourages identity with the school and its underlying ethos. It ensures all students of all backgrounds feel welcome and protects them from social pressures to dress in a particular way. To this end we expect students to wear their uniform at all times to and from school and when in school unless specific advice is given otherwise.

Blazers or Manor branded V-neck jumpers and ties must be worn by students at all times to school and in school. Specific permission may be given to remove blazers or jumpers once at school (e.g. hot weather). During lessons blazers may be removed but must be worn to leave the class.

Ties must be tied in a proper knot at the neck and be worn so that no buttons are showing on the shirt and the bottom of the tie must sit at the top of the waistband. 

Shirts must be buttoned fully.

School uniform is supplied by Karlsports. Orders can be made via the link below:

Key Stage 5 dress code

Post-16 students are expected to come to school in smart, professional clothing and footwear. Clothing should be appropriate for a working day at school and to a standard which would be acceptable in a business environment. Outdoor clothing is not permitted inside school buildings.

Equipment

In 2025, we launched our Be Ready Bags, which include a whiteboard pen and mini-whiteboard as part of students' daily stationery.

The introduction of this has had a significant positive impact on the learning that takes place in the classroom.  Students have been able to work more efficiently and participate in a greater variety of activities. In turn, teachers have been able to check for understanding throughout lessons and address misconceptions quickly. 

A "Be Ready" bag should contain a:

  • Mini whiteboard (A4 sized)
  • Whiteboard pen
  • Black writing pen (two are recommended)
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
  • Scientific calculator (recommended - not currently compulsory)
We insist on students having the A4-sized 'tuff bags' as they also store their timetable, reading book and powerful words vocabulary book. 
 

If your child needs to replace their "Be Ready" stationery bag, they will be available for purchase (with equipment as listed above) via ArborPay for £2.50. This will be available for collection from the LRC as soon as payment is made. Individual items can also be purchased with cash from the LRC. Please find a price list and visual attached. Items can be sourced elsewhere. 

In September, all Year 7 students will be given their own Be Ready Bag. Students in Year 8-11, who are in receipt of free school meals, will also be provided with a Be Ready Bag.
