our Uniform & equipment
School Uniform and PE Kit
A uniform is more than just clothes to wear to school each day, a uniform is a first impression, a show of who we represent and a symbol of the standards we have. At Highcrest, we want and expect our students to be the best versions of themselves and that starts from arriving to school each day, dressed smartly and ready to learn.
Our school uniform and PE kit supplier is SportsCrest.
They have all of the badged garments available that you will need.

Our School Shop
To help ensure every student is fully equipped, we have our very own school shop. Our shop can be found in our Learning Resource Centre and sells equipment at very reasonable discounted prices every break and lunchtime. In addition, to make things as easy as possible, our Prefects take the portable school shop on tour, to visit every tutor room over the course of the week.
Weekly Equipment Checks
Every week your child’s Form Tutor will undertake an equipment check. Any missing equipment will be communicated with you via the student planner.
