Uniform and Equipment

School uniform plays a key role in promoting pride, self-confidence, and a feeling of belonging and all students are encouraged to wear it daily with pride.

New Uniform Launch - 2023
The School Council have shared their views on a new uniform, and we have sought the views of parents/carers at our recent parents evening. From September 2023, the Marlborough School Uniform will be:

  • Black or grey trousers or skirt
  • White t-shirt/shirt/polo shirt
  • Grey sweatshirt/jumper/cardigan with Marlborough School logo

Uniform

Please ensure all clothing coming in to school is named. Whilst the school makes every effort to ensure that clothes remain with their owners mishaps do happen.

Students on FSM are supported to purchase school uniform through the charity trust and Pupil Premium.

We prefer our students to wear uniform, however we also recognise that due to the needs of our students including sensory and physical, not all students will wear uniform.

Some students who require a change of clothes bring them in daily in a bag or keep spares in school. Soiled clothes are returned home.

Students who require incontinence pads need to have them sent into school.

Games / Physical Education

  • Physical Education takes place both on and off site.  The PE kit consists of a white t-shirt, black shorts or tracksuit bottoms and trainers. 
  • Students are encouraged to change for PE, however we realise that for some students this is work in progress and it should not be a barrier to taking part
  • During whole school activities such as Sports Day, students may come to school int their PE kit.
  • The school has representative teams in a number of sports – the school has some special kit for these or parents/carers will be advised accordingly.

Swimming

Swimming equipment i.e. towel and swimwear will be required and should always be named.  The class teacher will let parents/carers know when swimming takes place. Goggles are allowed with permission from the instructor.  Students should shower before and after swimming. Some students in KS3 and KS4 use our hydro pool, as do our PMLD students. Other students in KS3, KS4 & K5 access Sidcup Leisure Centre, Hurst Road.

Equipment

  • Most students have a school bag, which they leave on their coat peg, or in their box in class.
  • Students may like to bring in their own pencil case, toys, or games.
  • All equipment will be provided to students that they need throughout the day.   
  • Mobile phones should not be brought into school. If they are required for travelling, they should be kept in reception.
  • Chilled filtered water is freely available throughout the day.
