    • School Uniform

    At Cranbourne, we believe in establishing a culture of behaviour that supports learning. This is reflected in our expectations of personal appearance and in terms of the standards and aspirations we have for our students.

    We believe that a smart appearance helps develop a sense of pride which reflects in a more positive approach to learning; in short, our students should look smart and ready to achieve great things.

    It is a student’s responsibility to wear their uniform correctly to show respect for their school community, including on the way to and from school.

    School Uniform is available to purchase from Skoolkit.

    Second-Hand Uniform Shop

    Our #GreenCranbourne initiative means we aim to reduce our impact on the environment– therefore, we run a successful second-hand uniform shop and we don’t charge for any items.

    Donations of good-quality uniform items, as well as coats, are welcome. Alternatively, you may wish to swap your item for another size.

    We would love everyone to commit to donating any unwanted uniform your child may have outgrown back to us at the end of each academic year, or when you leave Cranbourne in Year 11. Donations may be left in Reception or contact Kathy Gare at k.gare@cranbourne.hants.sch.uk to arrange a uniform swap.

    For more information or to find out how we can help support you, please email gen.enquiries@cranbourne.hants.sch.uk
