At Copthorne CE Junior School we pride ourselves on the appearance of all the children who attend our wonderful school.  Our school uniform is smart and practical.  

We really like all pupils to wear uniform because we want them to develop a sense of pride and a feeling of belonging to our school, as well as supporting discipline in school. Sweatshirts, cardigans, reversible fleeces, polo shirts and P.E. shirts are available to buy from Tesco.com/ues. You will also be able to purchase all other non-customized items for our school via the same website.  Book bags can be purchased from the school office.
