Uniform & Stationery
All children at Parkside wear uniform during the school day, but the requirements vary for Early Years children in Nursery, Reception, Years 1 and 2 and the Prep School.
As part of our exciting transition to a co-educational school, we’re introducing a beautiful new girls uniform and moving to a new uniform supplier, AlleyCatz, from September. During this changeover, there will be a short transition period where some items are still available from Unismart, our current supplier (unismartltd@gmail.com).
To help make things as easy as possible, our uniform lists clearly show which supplier to use for each item.
As a general guide:
- Until 5th September 2025 – existing uniform is to be purchased from Unismart
- From 26th June 2025 – new girls uniform can be purchased from AlleyCatz
- From 15th September 2025 onwards – all uniform will be purchased exclusively from AlleyCatz
Please note, there will be a short break in online uniform availability between 6th and 15th September while we complete the transition to AlleyCatz. During this time, our Second-Hand Uniform Shop will be open for any urgent needs.
Pop Up Uniform Shops
To support families through this transition, Unismart will be holding a series of pop-up uniform shops at St Mary’s Church Hall on the following dates:
- Thursday 10th July – 3.30–6.00pm
- Thursday 24th July – 3.30–6.00pm
- Thursday 7th August – 3.30–6.00pm (AlleyCatz will also be present)
- Thursday 21st August – 3.30–6.00pm
- Friday 29th August – 9.30am–12.00pm
- Thursday 4th September – 9.00am–10.00am
Both Unismart and AlleyCatz will also be set up in the Salon on Thursday 26th June during Move-Up Morning, so families can view and purchase before the end of term. You can also book a personal appointment with AlleyCatz to arrange a one-to-one fitting at a time that suits you.
We appreciate your support as we make this exciting move, and we’re here to help if you have any questions.
Second Hand Uniform Shop
The Parkside second hand uniform shop is located next to the Library in the Crescent Block and is stocked with good quality second hand uniform for all children from Nursery to Year 8.
Personal appointments can be made for during term time or in the holidays if any new or current parents would like to purchase uniform from the shop. Donations of uniform are always gratefully received, and all items donated must be clean and folded.
