✨Welcome Back to School!✨ Dear Parents and Guardians, We hope your child had a wonderful first day back at school! It’s been fantastic to see everyone settling in so well and ready for a great term ahead. It was lovely to see so many pupils looking smart in their uniform. As a quick reminder about school uniform, please ensure your child wears: ✔️ Drapers Mills branded black school jumper or cardigan ✔️ Red polo shirt ✔️ Black skirt, trousers, or shorts ✔️ Black tights or socks ✔️ Plain black shoes Optional: Red and white checked summer dress Wearing the correct uniform helps your child feel part of our school community and ready to learn. Thank you for your continued support — we’re looking forward to an exciting and successful term!
