A distinctive uniform helps to create a school identity and a sense of pride and belonging. By preventing extreme fashions and creating uniformity of dress, it lessens the effect of difference in family income and encourages pupils to concentrate on their studies. Admission to the school implies acceptance of the uniform code. Any child not wearing correct uniform should have a note explaining their individual circumstance.

Buying a school uniform is a major expense and for this reason, the uniform at Sir Thomas Boteler Church of England High School has been carefully selected so that, whilst it is distinctive, it is easily obtainable.
