School Uniform
At Garland School we believe that wearing the correct uniform to school develops a sense of community and belonging to our popular village school. Our uniform ensures everyone is dressed in practical clothes, they look smart and that the clothing is not distracting during learning. Items such as navy shorts/trousers, navy skirts and gingham summer dresses can all be purchased for a reasonable price at local supermarkets and High Street chain stores.
School uniform embroidered with our logo can be purchased online from Oliver Signs in Burghfield, or by popping down to their shop at The Hatchgate Garage, Burghfield, RG30 3TH.
A copy of our School Uniform Policy can be found in the 'Key Information' section under Policies of our site.
In addition, the Garland School Association (GSA) holds regular second-hand uniform sales.
