Uniform

Marriotts School Uniform

At Marriotts we believe that all students should wear the correct school uniform smartly and with pride.  Wearing school uniform shows commitment to being part of the Marriotts family. It helps to foster a serious approach to learning and helps prepare students for their future careers.  Our uniform also removes the distractions that invariably arise as a result of students comparing clothing and allows students to be easily recognised both in school and on off site visits, which more easily ensures student safety.  We have high standards and high expectations for all our students and the way they present themselves at school is a vital part of this.   

Low cost and availability

The school does not make a profit on school uniform and any surplus is put back into the rewards programme. The majority of the uniform can be sourced from most major retail outlets/supermarkets. Only the blazer with embroidered logo, the school tie and key items of the PE Kit must be purchased from our supplier.  Our supplier is Sportswear International https://www.swischoolwear.co.uk/   Please contact the supplier for prices. Weekly deliveries to school are free of charge. Alternatively, items can be delivered direct to your home at a small charge.

Marking of uniform items  

When items of uniform go missing, it can be costly for families to replace these items.  To increase the chances of any lost items being returned to your child, we advise you to ensure that all uniform and PE kit is permanently marked with your child’s name. Permanent marker or labels can be used for this.   

Second-hand uniform

If you would like to access our small stock of second hand uniform, please email uniform@marriotts.herts.sch.uk with your request and we will do our best to match your requirements.  In addition, if you have any outgrown or spare uniform items that you would like to donate to our second hand uniform stock, please drop off any items at reception.  We greatly appreciate your support.
