Changes to the School uniform

Last year, we consulted with parents and students on changes to the Uniform Policy. As a result, all students now wear trousers and it was decided to introduce a new school uniform for students joining Year 7 in September 2023. This consists of a blazer and new clip on school tie. To allow some flexibility and in response to feedback from the consultation, students in Years 8 to 11 may also choose to wear the new school uniform, although this is not compulsory. A summary of the changes is outlined below:


New EBHS uniform 

(for students joining Year 7 in September 2023):
