The Warriner School Uniform

Purpose: The purpose of The Warriner uniform is to develop a sense of pride and belonging. To ensure the culture of the school instils equality amongst our student body. These factors contribute to student well-being by creating practical clothing to promote learning and prepare them for the world of work.

Sixth Form: Students are permitted to dress in smart-casual clothes, but these must be appropriate for a working environment. For further information on our Sixth Form Click here.

 New For You

During term time, please contact Mrs Ball on Reception, for enquiries about new uniform. This is kept in The Warriner Learning Centre; the reception will make an appointment for you to go and have a look.

We welcome donations of good quality second-hand uniform (donated skirts should be the pleated style only) and these can be dropped off at Reception. Please wash items before donating. Any monies received from your uniform items are used to support current fundraising projects.

All items are 50p or £1, with blazers at £5. We accept cash or cheques.

We have a particular abundance of boys' shirts and trousers - all good brands - so do please think of purchasing these from us too, rather than from high street stores. Whilst we introduced a new logo in 2019, we are still happy for students to wear items with the old logo if there is life in the clothes!

Come and grab a bargain! #secondhanduniform #preloved #sustainability

Additionally, Banbury Uniform Exchange, based at Hanwell Fields Community Centre receives and distributes new uniforms for you free of charge. Click on the link or find them on Facebook to find out more.
