Sixth Form PE Kit

After consultation, the Year 13s decided that they would like Adidas branded clothes and as a result the following items on the link below can be purchased and worn to school. All items will have initials and the Whitbread logo on them. I can appreciate they are not cheap, however the items are of a very high quality. We want you to be smart and comfortable and proud of your sports uniform.

The PE uniform is not a requirement but an alternative to the Sixth Form business attire. This is great for PE students as you will be doing practical sessions at times and this uniform is appropriate for those sessions, as well as giving you an identity to the PE department. To buy PE uniform for the Sixth Form courses please follow the link and use teh username and password below.

Sadly the website above couldn’t offer the female leggings and shorts that we wanted. After speaking with some of  the girls in Year 13 they have chosen the following items.

They must be these items so that we kept that identity mentioned previously. To avoid any challenges from staff please only buy the above items.
