Buying PE Kit: What should I prioritise?
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, some sports activities will be suspended for the first half of the Autumn Term. We have therefore separated the list of PE kit into three categories: essential, recommended and optional.
Items marked with an asterisk must be purchased from the school shop; other items may be purchased elsewhere.
Please note that, due to coronavirus restrictions, it is very unlikely that we will be able to lend items of kit in September, so girls will have to provide their own.

Important information about purchasing school uniform
Girls in Queenswood’s Years 7-11 wear school uniform for lessons and official school outings and wear school sports kit for games. Girls may wear their home clothes after tea during the week and all day at weekends. Sixth Formers do not wear uniform but are required to dress in smart office wear during their working day.
You can buy your daughter’s uniform via Stevensons’ online uniform service (recommended), or at Stevensons’ Shop in St Albans (strictly by appointment only). At this time, the uniform shop on site at Queenswood is not open due to the global Coronavirus pandemic.

School Uniform at Stevensons’ shop in St Albans
At this time, the uniform shop on site at Queenswood is not open due to the global Coronavirus pandemic. However, if you do not wish to purchase all you need on-line (details above), you can book an appointment at Stevensons’ shop in St Albans when they re-open between Monday 22nd June and Sunday 28th June 2020. Please register via their website and understand that retail restrictions and social distancing are likely to have a significant impact in the flow of customers through their shop, so a limited number of appointments are available. Stevensons will have strict arrangements in place, and can welcome your daughter to their shop, with only one accompanying adult. Please avoid taking other children, friends or other family members with you to an appointment as sadly they will be turned away.
Because so few appointments will be available, we suggest that you consider seriously purchasing all you need on-line. Online orders must be placed by Friday 17 July 2020. To place an order click here and enter Queenswood in the dialogue box, then click REGISTER to start the process.
