Uniform
Uniform is compulsory for College pupils and helps to create a sense of shared identity, community spirit and a pride in oneself and in the College.
Uniform can be purchased from the School Shop. Please contact the School Shop on 01926 634272 or email uniform@princethorpe.co.uk to make an appointment.
Shop opening hours during term time are as follows:
Mondays and Wednesdays 3.30pm – 4.30pm
During the school holidays the shop is open by appointment only. This is particularly useful for new parents who need to buy the complete range of uniform etc as they will be the sole customer at the time and waiting will be avoided.
