Our uniform

Fostering a sense of identity

At Ysgol Friars, we understand that our uniform promotes a sense of unity, equality, and inclusivity. When our students wear our school colours and emblems, it instils a strong sense of community and belonging, which is why we have made it one of our key school rules that we want all children to adhere to.

The school is grateful to parents/guardians for their support for school uniform regulations. Please note, that variations are not permitted unless confirmed and agreed with the school directly.
