A New Uniform for YorkHigh School

Introduction

York High is now nearly 3 years old and so it is over 4 years since we held our original uniform consultation and decided what the YHS uniform should be. In recent years we have received a great deal of feedback and comments from staff, parents and pupils about the existing uniform and we believe it is an appropriate time to review this given that many of the pupils and parents who contributed to the original uniform consultation have now completed their time at York High School.

We will not be making any changes until September 2011, but we would like to notify parents by the end of this term of any changes we intend to introduce in September 2011 in order to assist you in planning your uniform requirements for the coming school year knowing what the changes will be.

In addition, if any changes are made, we will ensure that there is no significant change to the overall cost of both the MainSchool and PE Uniform as we fully appreciate the difficult economic situation of many of our families and are not seeking to contribute to make this any harder.
