The King Henry VIII 3-19 School uniform is as follows:

Free iron on/sew on badges (for the blazer and jumper) are available free of charge from the school. Alternatively, these items can be purchased pre-branded from our uniform supplier, Reflex Embroidery.

Pupils who started Nursery, Reception, and Year 7 in September 2023 (new pupils) currently wear the new King Henry VIII 3-19 School uniform. The tie is available from the school for these pupils free of charge.

Pupils of the predecessor schools can continue, if you wish, wearing their previous school’s uniform. This means that:

  • Previous Deri View Primary School pupils can continue wearing their purple sweatshirt or cardigan.
  • Previous King Henry VIII School pupils can continue wearing their black V-neck school jumper.

All previous King Henry VIII School pupils have been provided with a free iron on/sew on badge for their current blazer.

Please note that school skirts and trousers must be smart and black. Beyond this, there is no specific style required. Skirts must be knee length for health and safety reasons.
