We have now commissioned Anglia Sportswear to produce our uniform. All orders will be placed directly via their website and sent to your home address.
To mark 50 years of Horringer Court we will have a new logo on the school jumper. Both the new style and old style logos will be acceptable for school.

School Equipment
School Bags
Children are not required to carry large numbers of books home each day. We do recommend that you buy a school bag which is just large enough to hold a reading book, an information book, 2 A4 exercise books, a ring binder (optional) and a packed lunch. Bags which are very large encourage children to overload themselves and congest the cloakrooms. Book bags can be purchased from the school office.
A small separate PE bag is recommended for hygiene and convenience; this should have enough space to hold additional clothing for bad weather and a pair of trainers.
Stationery
- A pencil case containing at least:
- 1 black pen
- 1 pencil
- coloured pencils (not felt tips/sharpies)
- 30cm ruler
- glue stick
- eraser
- pencil sharpener
- In KS3 a scientific calculator will be required. (Casio 85GT Plus recommended)
- For Computing lessons children will need an inexpensive pair of wired earphones/headphones
- General notebook (A4/A5) is recommended
- We encourage all children to bring in their own water bottle with a sports top – bottles will not be provided by school.
Technology
If you wish your child to bring their mobile phone to school, then it is done at your own risk. Students are not permitted to use mobile phones during the school day and therefore must be switched off at all times when on the school site.
All other electronic devices are not permitted in school.
Wallets and Purses
If children bring dinner money or a bus pass they will need a clearly named wallet or purse to keep them in.
Lockers
Lockers are available for all children to rent. These can be booked through the following link.
Please ensure that you rent a locker in your child’s relevant Year group area.
Lost Property
Whilst every effort is made, the school cannot accept responsibility for items that are not recovered.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT ALL PROPERTY IS CLEARLY AND PERMANENTLY NAMED.
