Fostering Belonging and Community
At Brentwood, we believe there are many reasons why having a school uniform is important.
Having a uniform helps create a sense of belonging and reflects the pride felt by many in being part of an inclusive, caring and open community.
All Brentwood School students are expected to be smart and wear their uniform with pride.

School Uniform
Brentwood School has a prescribed uniform list for each of the different age groups within the school.
The school uniform list has grown over the years in response to parents requesting items of clothing to support the different seasons such as the Preparatory School Legionnaire’s hat and the pull-on winter hat.
All students must be in Brentwood School uniform suitable for each season and activity and should be smart and dressed appropriately.

Personalised Touch
Sir Edwin Hardy Amies KCVO attended Brentwood School from 1919 to 1927. He became a sought-after couture designer and in 1955 was appointed official dressmaker to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for almost 40 years.
He was fond of his time at Brentwood and came back in his later years to design the girls’ school uniform, which is still worn today. The Hardy Amies Design Centre at the Senior School is testimony to his connection with us.
Although Sir Hardy Amies received recognition, fame and a knighthood, he never forgot his early life and education at Brentwood.
